Mac Forum / General / General / January 2007How to remove menu bar icons ?
Hi, I am trying to clear some space in the menu bar. Already removed a few icons that I was not using, but I am unable to find how to remove the following : - the IrDA icon (I have IrDA on my TiBook 667MHz GB-EN): I have not used IrDA for years - the BlueTooth icon (well, I use BT once every 6 months) - the VPN icon (never used) Needless to say, right-clicking on the icon does not help, and these functions do not have an associated Preferences Pane.

I don't know the answer for the others, however. SignatureDave Fritzinger Honolulu, HI > Hi, > I am trying to clear some space in the menu bar.

You can hold the Command/Splat key and drag t off the menu bar, too. > In article > <wayne.morris-BFA083.13035530012007@shawnews.wp.shawcable.net>, Wayne [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > You can hold the Command/Splat key and drag t off the menu bar, too. ...shame on me : I should have guessed !!! Thanks to all for your good inputs ! CAB > I am trying to clear some space in the menu bar. Keep in mind that if you actually need that space for menus, the info icons are not displayed. > Needless to say, right-clicking on the icon does not help, and these > functions do not have an associated Preferences Pane. Command-click on any of them and drag it off the menu bar to poof it gone. You can use that combo to just rearrange their order as well.
