OK -
System - Windows XP Pro with SP2

PROBLEM:
In the task bar (right had section where the clock is), I seeem to get blank
areas between the icons. When I right click these blank "icons", there IS
the program access that I want!

Not sure that is totally clear, but the issue is basically, I have
"invisible" icons on the taskbar.

Anyone know of a fix for this? Is it a known issue?

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards and thanks in advance.

Hi,

Is this happening for a particular application's icon or all?

Taskbar Icons

I am looking for instructions on how to remove an item from the taskbar if
you are not using the program. I don't want to completely remove the program
from my computer, just the shortcut. I'm brand new to Windows XP, formerly
using Windows 98.
Thanks

If you open the program and go through the menus you'll likely find a place
where you can get rid of the icon in the notification area.

If you're referring to a shortcut on the Quick Launch bar, just right
click on the shortcut and choose Delete.

If you're referring to an icon in the notification area (systray),
right click on the START button and choose Properties.
Click the "Customize..." button.
Select the icon you want to hide and set it to "Always hide."
