Answer 3

You may not want to delete them, as they may be security or important applications for running windows. Unused applications on the taskbar can be hidden.

Firstly, right click on your taskbar. Then choose Properties. Next, hide inactive icons, and customise it.

Answer 4

right click anywhere in the task bar on the bottom of the screen.
Click properties.
Click customise
Choose the program you want to hide
Change it to alwys hide or hide when inactive
Click ok
That should sort it out for you. I would also tick the box that says hide inactive icons (on the properties box) to hide aanything you are not using.

Answer 5

Some of them are permanently installed. Others you can delete from your start up.

Answer 6
