Mark,

Two of the Quicklaunch icons I start up and leave on all the time after
the Desktop loads are Thunderbird and Firefox.

Above the Clock two of the items are in my Startup section -
Mailwasher Free and Desktop Media.

The others are for:

Logitech Mouse (2)
Adobe Photo Downloader (1)
Digital Lifeline (2)
Wordweb (2)
Epson 3800 Printer (2)
Netmeter (2)
McAfee Security Center (2)
Epson Event Monitor (2)
NVIDIA Settings (1)
Realtek HD Audio Manager (1)
Virtual Clone Drive (2)
Local Area Connection (1)
Volume (1)
Safely Remove Hardware (1)
Panda USB Vaccine (2)

Note: (1) Was on the XP box when I got it new.  (2) I added these.

Digital Lifeline was a 3 year additional warranty I purchased.
I asked the store if they still sell that product and was told they used
another compamy now, so I Removed the program since I wrote you.
Now there are 16 items.

I don't use Adobe Photo Downloader so planning on keeping it from
showing up above the Clock.

I'm going to run AUTORUNS soon to see what else it will show me.
