Re: [JAWS-Users] Sidebar to stopping Email icon in system tray

Nice try, Flora. But I have about 20 "phantom" icons in the System Tray List affiliated with programs that were uninstalled with Revo Uninstaller, which supposedly does a more thorough job of removing program components than the Add/Remove Programs option on the Control Panel. None of these phantom or leftover icons have corresponding entries listed on the Processes page of Windows Task Manager.

There are some programs that have entries in msconfig - which can mean 
that, if the program was still running in the background when you 
'uninstalled' it, it wasn't completely removed.  You would therefore need 
to completely close such a program before removing it.  The alt+ctrl+del 
menu (End Program menu) is a way to access such programs, and the process 
you desire to close can be closed from the list of processes there by 
arrowing to and then tabbing to and entering on the end Process button. 
(make sure that you have identified the process you are ending when doing 
this.)



So, if an uninstalled program wasn't completely uninstalled, you could 
reinstall it and then remove it, properly by, also, implementing the steps 
i have indicated above.

I did a little research, and discovered that there is really no easy way 
to remove leftover or duplicate icons from the System Tray.  While 
deleting desktop icons is fairly simple, deleting trace System Tray icons 
for programs you no longer have installed on your PC involves fooling 
around with the registry.  So the best way to deal with these "ghost" 
icons is to just leave them alone.

Hi Flor,

Thank you sir, for your response.  The Icons in the system tray are no
problem at all.  I was just curious if there was a way to stop the Icons

from being there if a person didn't want them in the sys tray and 
curiosity

also pushed me over the edge, to wonder if there was a way to eliminate

multiple listings in the customize list realizing that I could 
recustomize

the Icons but, the curiosity is if they could be deleted somehow.  I
couldn't find a way to do so.  Thanks again, take care.
Mike

Hi Mike,

re-customize those icons you don't want shown.

What is the problem with having a 'you have new email' icon in your
system Tray, anyway?  It goes away after a bit.  I prefer to have hide
inactive icons unchecked, and things are working normally so that I can
work with any program there should the the need arise.  (Each program
there normally occurs only once under those settings.  if it occurs more
than once, as on occasion, I just close one of the instances of it and
that tends to fix it.)

Hi All,

Thanks again Gerald & David for the great steps/information but, after
getting into the customize notification tray to make the settings
changes I
noticed that there were icons in there that are not on my computer
anymore
or for instance, Jaws for windows, NVDA,& Super Anti Spuyware are in
the
list multiple times.  Does anyone know a way to remove the multiple
listings
of particular icons?  All help will be graciously appreciated. Thanks
again.  Take care.
Mike
