With many background tasks come system tray icons.
How many icons have you all got in your system tray and what are they?
For myself- I only have three. Volume Control, TaskSwitchProXP, and MSN messenger.Sometimes I quit messenger and thus have only two.
-
Battery/Charging, OneNote, Volume, Wireless/Internet, NetMeter, Kaspersky and MSN

I have 8 on startup, I've got Fahmon, Rivatuner, Rivatuner showing my graphics card temperature, my Creative volume panel, safely remove hardware, Windows volume icon, and the network icon. Pidgin is often there too, as it's usually open.
I could remove some of them, but for little or no gain.

I just realized I lied. Normally I have four, but at the time I looked I had my USB hub plugged into my laptop rather then my desktop. So I always have the remove hardware icon as well.
Pah, everybody else is taking pictures:
Desktop(XP):

Order a Beer
More Food
When you choose "More food" it brings up a menu of gourmet meal choices which are then replicated in your nearby replication machine.
I remember when I first got my replication machine. just load in the raw material, (pretty much anything) and enter what you want, and bam, the machine replicates it.
for example, I turned 5 old 386 motherboards into an geForce 8600XT. The machine really pays for itself after a week or two. Especially since if you load up enough raw material you can replicate another replication machine. ;D

That one's on the end table...

Coincidentally (?), it has very similar buttons ;D
-
Mines broken. there was something stuck on the "+ *censored*" button...
needless to say by the time I removed the batteries it was too late. So now we need to roll a girney around wherever we go. People tend to stare.

anyone , how are you able to put the system tray photo on here
-
Prnt Screen -> Paste to a new Paint image -> Save as GIF or Jpeg -> Reply Back and upload the pic with it.
-
thank you macdad- , you have lost me , i can do the last 2 , do not have a clue about the first 2 :-[ , go slow please , harry

1:
Print Screen key on your keyboard- On my keyboard, it is sitting to the right of my F-12 key, along with Scroll Lock and Pause/Break. Some keyboards place it with the Home and End Keys.
Then, once you've pushed the "Print Screen" key (also labelled "SysRq" LONG story behind that one...) open Paint, and use Edit->Paste. You can then perform a File->Save to save the file as a GIF or JPG.
Once this is done, you need to upload the picture to a file hosting site- I use Photobucket, ImageShack and a few others are just as good.
Once you've uploaded an image, most uploading services will provide you with the IMG forum code so you can paste it into your reply. Hope this helps you! :)
