I am using WinZip with Vista RTM and there is two options if you right click
on the icon in the task bar. The first one is "Close for now" and the
second one is "Close and Remove - from the task bar".

In Windows XP, both options show up, but in Vista, the second option is
greyed out, you can't remove it from the task bar. Does anyone know how to
remove this?

Thanks
 
I am signed in as Administrator but when I try to access the startup folder,
it says access denied.
 
I'm not sure why do you have problems accessing Startup folder, I was able
to open both user and public folders without administratve priviledges.
Folders in question are:
All Users:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Per-user:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup

IMHO better way to control startup programs is using built-in MSCONFIG
utility. Just find appropriate entry on the Startup tab and uncheck it, then
reboot.
 
Oops, got me. I have no idea why you can't edit your Startup folder. Like
Alexander, I can, and that's how I got rid of WinZip 11's "Quick Pick" icon.
 
I think I know why, it was because I went to C:\Program Data\Start Menu and
I guess that isn't the way to go according to your sample.

When I chose the path you suggested, it worked.

Thanks
