Answer 1

Icons from the menu Bar? What icons? Perhaps you mean the tool bar? Do you mean icons like STOP and Favorites and Print, or Search. I'm not sure I understand what icons you are talking about specifically. Also contrary to what the first two answerers told you, these icons cannot be removed with a simple delete or cutting and pasting and I strongly doubt they have anything to do with why your system is slow. I would say the reason why your system is running slowly has more to do with a spyware or adware infection/ You can download Ad-aware free, a Lavasoft product or Spybot Search and Destroy from the Internet, or even better Webroot's Spy Sweeper for a slight charge to help you with this problem. Also do a disk cleanup and a disk defragmenting if you have never done these before. Then go through the program list in the Add/Remove Programs under the control panel and remove any programs which you KNOW YOU DID NOT NEED AND WHICH YOU DO NOT USE. I emphasize this because it is IMPERATIVE that you know what a program is and its purpose before removing it. Do not remove any program unless you know what you are doing.

Answer 2

You will want to do more then just delete the icons . Go to each individual program and tell it to not start when Windows starts.
