    From left to right:

    Battery monitor (IBM utility); Epson Printer; MS Anti Spyware; Symantec AV; Intel Extreme Graphics 2; Windows Time.

    My media server is almost identical, without the Intel Extreme, and the Battery.

    I like a minimal approach.

    Good god Kameleon, thats a horrificly large taskbar :eek:

    I always kill those little icons, so, I've got foobar and IRC all open(all the time practically) but neither have tray icons. What I do have are:

    Opera
    Daemon Tools
    PeerGuardian 2
    MSN
    Fraps
    Ultramon
    Network connection settings
    EAX control panel
    Tiny Key Counter(similar to whatpulse, should bit-tech move to one and form a team?)
    Tyan Graphics Control Software
    Windows Task Manager(minimised)

    Mostly those are apps that have no other presence on my computer other then the process list, and the taskbar.

    Got quite a few other processes, but, those are the things I run with. Mostly thats it.

    Oh and Andromeda, whatpulse and TKC aren't keyloggers, they're installed and controlled by the users who want them, they keep no logs, and they only report back to mother goose when you tell them too, and only with certain stats, not what keys have been pressed in which order.
