Hi John
this is very interesting, I had about 19 items in my startup, I had a look
at it following your message to Dorothy and I have unchecked a few of these.
Interestingly I think, jaws was not in there, I don't understand why that
is, unless it's something to do with the fact that jaws doesn't take up a
window on my machine as I prefer to run it from the system tray so it's out
of the way.
I'll write to you off list about this issue if you don't mind, as there are
things in there I don't recognise.

Dorothy, programs appear in the system tray because they're running. The way
to clear your system tray is to stop programs loading at startup. The higher
the number of programs allowed to start with windows the slower your
computer's going to be. They all use up resources.
The only two programs that run at startup on my computer are AVG and Jaws.
There really is no reason to have everything running at startup.
If you go to start, then run, type msconfig and press enter the system
configuration window will open. If you back tab till you're on the tabs,
then arrow to the startup tab, then press tab to get onto the startup list.
Everything in that list is starting with windows. The more of it you uncheck
the better. If you're not happy doing it yourself you could get help doing
it. When you've unchecked what you want to uncheck tab down to ok and press
enter or activate with the spacebar. You'll get a prompt to reboot. click
yes. Your computer will reboot. You'll get a message when your computer
starts to say that you are running in selective mode. There's a check box to
stop the message being shown again. Check it and press enter. That's it.
John.
