Taskbar Icon

AA3:
Right click an empty space on your taskbar / in the options that appear
click Properties / Choose the taskbar tab and at the bottom make sure there
is a check in the box next to "Hide inactive icons" then click the customize
button in the lower right hand corner > A "Customize Notifications" dialogue
box will appear > Highlight an item and a pull down "options menu" will
appear > Choose the option you want for each item then click the "Okay
button" to close > Click the "Apply button" on the taskbar properties then
the "Okay button" to close. The Icons aren't hidden at first because the
programs are active from the start up process.
Good luck, Jerry
