If your start button is on the left, and the "quick launch" icons on the right, yes, right-clicking and selecting exit will close the programs until the next time you start up your computer, and then they're back.
Using Start/Run then type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and click ok. This will bring up System Configuration Utility. Make sure that the program you're about to remove from the Start Up command is not one you definitely need to use, Go to the tab Startup.
You will see a list of the Startup Items and can unclick the ones you don't want, but leave SysTray checked.
I have unchecked aim, msmsgs, qttask, RealPlay, and Winampa because I don't want them on the System Tray. If you have Windows XP (I'm not sure that other versions of Windows does this), the next time you start up your computer, you will get a dialog box that says something about you changing the system configuration. Don't do anything that it tells you to do.
I think there's a "cancel", or "no", or "don't bother me", something but don't do what it suggests, just cancel or close it and next time you start up, you won't get that message and those extra icons that you don't want on your System Tray will be gone.
Now, bear in mind that if you open any of those programs that you have unchecked in the config system, you might find the quick launch icon in the tray again, just repeat the procedure.
