Hi

You could go into startup and uncheck Dell Quickset. That may get rid of the tray icon.

Go to start , run then type msconfig then click ok. Click on the startup button.

Check the list for DellQuickSet and uncheck it  hit ok and apply. Then restart

your system. A box will come up telling you about selective startup.

Put a check mark in the box that says Don`t show this message again

See if the icon is gone  Good luck.

A good program to use to control startup applications is CrapCleaner. However that is just one additional feature of the nifty little app that does some very nice system cleaning of temporary files and registry optimizations.

If you install it (it is a very tiny program) then go to Tools > Startup you can see what programs are set to run a startup and you have the option to remove them.

If I remove it from startup it will not run. I need it to run but I don't want an icon in systray. Most programs have an option for this and QuickSet has value in the registry but it doesn't work.

I don't think QuickSet supports a no tray icon option.

However, you can hide it using Windows XP "Inactive icons" option.
