Hi,
Icons in the system tray are placed there by the program. Whether or not the
program has an icon depends on how the program is written. Some programs
will have an option to show or not show, some will not, open the program
itself and check the options. If the icon is there at system startup, it
means that the program is loading in the startup group, often this is not
necessary and you can disable it. You can also look under settings/taskbar
and start menu, there is an option to hide the icons that are inactive.

In
Icons in the notification area represent programs running in the
background. Do you want to stop the programs from running or just
get rid of the icons?
If you want to stop programs from running, on each program you
don't want to start automatically, check its Options to see if it
has the choice not to start. Many can easily and best be stopped
that way. If that doesn't work, run MSCONFIG from the Start | Run
line, and on the Startup tab, uncheck the programs you don't want
to start automatically.
If you want to keep a program running but get rid of its icon,
you can do that only if the program lets you. Check its options
to see if that's a choice.
That's basically a function of the program itself; some programs
minimize to the task bar, others to the notification area. But if
a program doesn't minimize to the notification area, there are
third-party utilities that can add this capability. A google
search should turn up several.
