What did you rename the exe.file and where did you go to rename it? I left the service running and just used Windows Explorer to c:\program files\lavasoft\ad-aware 2007\AAWTray.exe and then changed the .exe file to changed_AAWTray.exe. Rebooted and the unusable icon was gone. -- You can't walk a straight line girl... if you're wearin crooked shoes

What it is is the activation in msconfig of c:\program files\lavasoft\ad-aware 2007\AAWTray.exe I just changed the name of the .exe file and rebooted. Now the icon is gone. Of course, I could have just unselected the checkbox in msconfig. I don't know what the service does when it's running, but killing off the entire service rather than just the execution of the tray icon makes more sense to me. -- You can't walk a straight line girl... if you're wearin crooked shoes
