Denver,
I can understand your concern and I'll try to re-assure you & Chris if necessary.

Here's what I got from the MaximumPC magazine February 2004, Page 28:

Every frickin' application we install lately seems to dump some sort of craptacular applet into our System tray... To kill the apps, you need to root them out at their source... To start it, go to Start, Run, and then type msconfig.exe. When the app opens, go to the Startup tab. The vast majority of your evil Systray apps can be disabled from here.

The difficulty lies in figuring out which apps you need, and which you don't... We recommend leaving alone any apps that uses rundll32 to run; if you mess with those you can disrupt vital Windows processes.

To disable the startup apps, all you need to do is uncheck the box next to each app's name and reboot your PC.
It's that simple.

All I did was to recommend not to disable Sound Canvas and the antivirus.

After doing this you have a clean startup!

Regards
