If you really want to remove the icons from startup, you could probably whack them with ResEdit, but why? They let you know whats loading. And can possibly tell you where something goes wrong if you have boot problems. I think all Init's should have startup icons...if you disable them, you could spend alot longer figuring out a problem related to inits without them.... -- Norm Goodger SysOp - MacInfo BBS @415-795-8862 3Com Corp.
