If you're talking about ending them ad-hoc, simply right-click on an icon and select Close, if it has that option. Whether a program goes into the System Tray or not depends upon whether it is designed to or not, although you can find third-party utilities that will make programs appear in the tray. --Scott. -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
