    Yes, I can read your Signature, its long, is weird, confusing - It says (your a Windows 7 User & Vista lover) actually sounds to me like your really confused.. since your not sure what you want to continue to use... PS: Oh never mind you would not understand any way...

    Well, first off, as the op, you were in a sense, talking to me.

    Secondly, you don't get to tell anybody here what they can or cannot post. What part of that don't you understand...???

    Fwiw, you can actually disable the search icon in the taskbar with a registry key. This works in both 9841 and 9860:

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]
    "EnableProactive"=dword:00000000
    No idea if there's something similar for the Multiview button

    To disable the multiview button on the taskbar, try this.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MultitaskingView\AllUpView]
    "Enabled"=dword:00000000

    Mine doesn't have this portion "\MultitaskingView\AllUpView" of that registry key. So I am hesitant to try this. But hopefully someone else can confirm if this works safely or not.

    You need to restart explorer after applying this. For removal just delete the key in the registry.

    For the removal of the notification icon, right click on the task bar then properties. At the right side of the "notification area" left click customize. In the next window chose "Turn system icons on or off". Turn off the Notification Center icon!
    Hope this helps.

    As for me, these two values were not available, I just let them enter via .reg file.
    And then there were only 2 Icone below links away.
    So as you go with it, thank you.

    What was wrong with fekters solution? Much easier, and following standing procedure. ? Mayb ehis instructions missed?
    Clickthe notification arrow on the taskbar to get into the notification panel. - Customise - (At the bottom ) turn System icons on or off . Why use a script or, even deeper, a reg edit?.

    On my 9879 install there is an option to remove the Search button and the Task View button by right-clicking the Taskbar and de-selecting them.
