Taskbar

How do i take off all the programs in the taskbar, is that whats its called next to the clock. I have windows xp. I tried msconfig...i think that what I typed?? And when i took things off XP gave me a warning not to do it. My Instant messangers and emails been freezing when i press send, AOL, Yahoo and MSN. I tried cleaning my tempory files and deleting cookies. But it still does this. I only had this problem for a week. I don't know what i did to cause it.

Thanks in advance.

    The warning was really just a reminder that you are in selective startup.  Of course if you tell it to not start in selective startup, all the boxes you checked in msconfig will be re-checked.  When you get the reminder, just click on the box to "not show the message again" and the items you unchecked will remain unchecked.  There is nothing wrong with running in selective startup.

    It is called the "System Tray".

    What programs are running in your system tray?  Right clicking on some should bring up a menu and exit may be there.  If you want to stop them from running when you start the computer, see if you can do that in the preferences or options for each program that is running.
