- the icons for kaspersky, avg and other programs like that. they are still there even if i don't have the programs on my computer anymore.
you right click on start then go to properties. in notification area click on customize. you'll see all the icons there. you'll have a choice to hid when inactive.

Unfortunately, msconfig is one of the better ways to do this, but without seeing your machine, I cannot give you exact steps to remove your icons. Sorry!

Which icons specifically? A lot of programs have their own "Start when Windows loads" option in their individual setup screens. Typically, you have to go into each program and turn them off.
