    I've got 7 (count 'em!) icons showing in the right side at the moment.

    Audio
    Gigabyte Utilities
    Cookie Wall
    No-Frills Timer
    Adsubtract Filter
    Zone Alarm
    and the modem activity indicator.

    Can anyone beat that (without opening up any new programmes).

    Mike.

    Is it just me or are some of you boasting about having the most icons in the systray ?

    I hate having any icons in it, the more there is, the slower the machine takes to do everything ??

    I have only the essential programs on the systray and if any program tries to have an icon of its own, OUT COMES THE ANTI-STARTUP PROGRAM to wipp its ass into startup oblivion

    I'm the same. I have the clock, volume control and power control (for switching to 'always on' when burning a cd). If any suddenly appear, TweakUI comes out and does his work.

    When you click on your systray does your mouse pointer say "Is it in yet?" :)
