Can't Delete 'Notification Area', Icon

Windows XP >> Can't Delete 'Notification Area', Icon Hello,

RE: WIN XP, All XP Updates.

The program is VCom Utilities. What a nerve! I don't have many options,
obviously.

I looked it up in the individual files in C:\ Program Files and there
are two such icons...among the many; one is the EXE file, the orher
reads "MXTASK" I didn't want to delete the exe. icon, and it would
not allow me to delete the mxtask icon.

Is there anything I can do to NOT have to deal with that irritating
Icon?

Thanks,
Mike

Windows XP >> Can't Delete 'Notification Area', Icon What have you installed on your computer that is published by VCom (maybe
Fixit Utilities Professional)? It is a well known company.

Go into the program's options/preferences and see if you can prevent this
from starting automatically. If you investigate a bit about the program, you
may find that you do "not" want to disable this. Your looking at the
preferences/options should allow you to make a decision.

Windows XP >> Can't Delete 'Notification Area', Icon In Vcom System Suite, there's a checdkbox to "only show icon when an
application is running", or something like that. Unfortunately/fortunately,
the Net Defense Firewall is always running. [I know it has a seperate icon,
too. But they're vague about that being one of the "apps running" or not.]
I believe MxTask is the background task server, and can be stopped in
Windows "services", from Administrative Tools. That may stop the Antivirus,
though.
