    Does anyone now how to get rid of the webcam toolbar that attaches to any side of the desktop? I have it on 'autohide', but I still end up accidentally bringing it forward. I find it annoying.

    Thanks for the help.

    In your system tray there is a little webcam icon you can right-click and Exit. Looks kind of like a blue penguin to me, though. heh.

    Navigate to:
    file:///C:/Program%20Files/Camera%20Assistant%20Software%20for%20Gateway/Help/index.html

    (This address will work if you've got a P-6860FX)

    Is there anyway to keep that webcam icon in the system tray but kill the toolbar?

    In other words, easy access to the webcam, but nothing annoying?

    I'm not too sure if there is a way to do that exactly. I know you can change it so it doesn't even load up at start-up. You could just put the launcher in your quick launch bar so that it's easy to get to. That's what I did.

    Yap. That's the best way to do it, imo.
