    Yikes! I installed 10.5.2 and I have the .Sync and Time Machine icons stuck on my taskbar.

    How the heck do you remove it?

    Easiest way... hold down <noparse>Apple</noparse> (Command) and click-and-drag each onto the Desktop.

    Oh nice, thanks Xander. You'd have thought that Apple would have made it a bit more intuitive...

    you know, right click (or click) and hit remove from pane.

    You're welcome! There is also a checkbox in the preference pane for each. ;)

    While holding the command button you can just drag it off. If you move it to your desktop it will just vanish.

    Note,

    This may not work with 3-party apps.
