top left to top right:
webcam2k, shoutcast dnas server, winamp (broadcasting), winamp (monitoring my station, www fileserver (movies), speedup

middle left to middle right:
yahoo messenger, kazaa, analongx simpleserver, livejournal client, spacescript, AIM

bottom left to bottom right:
msn messenger, www fileserver (mp3's), disc detector (dunno), quickcam imagestudio, style XP, and gool 'ole volume control...

a total of 18 icons over there... :shrug:

:nerd: :nerd: :nerd: :nerd:

I used to do that , but then I realized how much slowdown that sheeat causes , so I made a new XP User and deleted my old one :P

I have Traymin, or something like that that my brother downloaded, probably from PCMagazine.com, that puts one icon there which you right click on to view an entire list of the programs. It doesn't seem to eat up much speed, except for the speed required by the programs.

At present I have:
Task Scheduler, MBM5 (two icons), NAV, ZoneAlarm, Mozilla, and Trillian.

MBM, ZoneAlarm, Mozilla and Trillian all get removed before I start the PSX emulator though 😉.

Currently - Task Scheduler, Desktop Architect, Volume, ZoneAlarm, and AIM.

Winamp's usually open though.

Abosolute minimum of those things... Just the required stupid TaskScheduler, Sound Volume, then my internet program, and AIM. Then I ussually just run a browser and mp3 player.

Currently I have 1, which I will soon remove. That is my Scheduled Tasks, strangely I have none activated.

Total, I might have Kazaa Lite, GAIM, XiRCON minimized and then ST. But that's it. I hate it when my systray becomes crowded, and when it does it's time to start some housekeeping.

No Volume Control. This comp has no sound card. :P

Windows updates, norton i-net security, norton anti-virus, quicktime, scanner, palm polit hot-sync, "safely remove hardware" wtf?, ATI driver

System tray? Volume control, network monitor, input language selection (lets me type in Japanese), keyboard software, and an organizer database. The last I wrote myself. :kawaii:

Running in the system at this moment:
no-ip, DC Hub, DC++, msn, connection keep alive(norton),
norton antivirus, printersoftware, c media mixer, windows update
Thats all 😃
