All icons will not be hidden right away. You have to wait a while. As long
as you open one of the programs pretty often, it's icon will probably not be
hidden. There is a way around it, however.
1) Right-click on the start button and choose "Properties"
2) Click on the "Taskbar" tab
3) Click on "Customize" at the bottom- right.

For each icon you want to hide permanently, right-click on the area to the
right which says "hide when inactive" (or "always show", or what ever it
says)
1) A drop-down list will be displayed.
2) Choose "Always hide"

When finished permanently hiding all the icons you desire, click on "Okay",
then "Apply", then "Okay"
