You're using dual monitors to fit that many icons into your system tray, I trust.

:p

I've got 2 (Spybot Resident and AVG Anti-Virus), by the way.

4, but really it's more like 2.
Kerio PF
SAV
10/100 Network (I could un-check the Show in System Tray option)
volume control (I could get rid of this too).

3. anti-virus, volume control, and outlook 2002. and i hide inactive icons, so technically only 1 right now (just got a new email not too long ago, outlook 2002 is peeking out).

edit: i think at home, i only have 2 (volume and avg). i like to keep it simple. just like my desktop at home and work only has 3 icons on it. my quick launch has 5 icons (desktop, browser, email, winamp, windows explorer)

Not really. I talk to my wife on AIM occasionally, but that's about it. This is my work computer, but I usually don't have anything running in the system tray at home either besides those two apps.

12 on work laptop. I tried to remove/hide some of the icons but I got audited and had my hand slapped.
:(

Now if it was my bum instead of the hand, and the spanker was a Bettie Page look-alike (oops, can't find a SFW pic of her :eek:), then alrriiiiiiighty!
:D
