    Hello,

    The web camera toolbar is really getting in the way - anyone know how to disable this and keep it hidden- besides auto-hide?

    Thanks in advance!

    I would imagine it's loading with startup, you can try and disable it in msconfig. Click start, type in msconfig, hit enter. When the System Configuration window comes up, click on the startup tab, sort the items by Manufacturer, uncheck the Chicony one and hit OK. Restart and let us know if that worked.

    Yeah just remove the program from the list of startup programs and then only run it when you want. Thats what I have done since I don't use it often and having it pop up is very annoying no matter where its positioned.
