right clicked and left clicked nothing happens either time. It is annoying
seeing it there all the time. Can anyone help. Thanks

I should have been more specific. The Smart Wizard appears in the task bar
like an item that has simply been minimized. Although what you had me do
took me to a place I had not been befor and will assist me in "cleaning up"
all those things by my clock. Thanks. I look forward to further help if you
have any.

Have you tried uninstalling it or seeking advice from the suppliers of
the Netgear Smart Wizard?

All I did with Smart Wizard was set it up for burning DVDs. Has nothing to
do with Net Gear and it isn't in the add/remove programs so I can't uninstall
it doesn't even show up in the Start/Programs list.

If it is not NetGear Smart Wizard, then what Smart Wizard is it?

I have a similar problem. I installed a new Logitech keyboard.
It has an icon in the system tray (next to the clock) to
allow changes to the configuration. That's OK.

But it _also_ has something directly next to the Start area
that looks like an application that has been opened and minimized.
That's not OK with me.

I have left, right, single, and double clicked it and it does not
pop up. And (in response to someone's posting) I do _not_
want to uninstall the Logitech utility.

It appeared after I tried to burn a DVD for the first time. It was at the
beginning asking format etc. I didn't install any new hardware or anything
like that.
