HP Pavilion DV6 6053 move to Windows 8 drivers et al

hi,

I bought Windows 8 there yesterday and its working pretty good. I am downloading some of the drivers here for HP Pavilion DV6 6053 but have some problems.

With simple pass installed I can use one swipe of my finger to get passed the lock screen and password screen but when I go to the desktop there is an icon on the taskbar with Simple Pass Launch Site ? With Windows 7 simple pass was always tidy away under hidden icons. Is there some way to get it out of the task bar and keep the functionality of finger print reader ?

There are a few other items on the laptop which I think I should get, beats audio, graphics but I don't exactly know what the 6053 has when it comes to looking on the forum for drivers.

I downloaded mouse pad or track pad yesterday and it feels differently now. Frequently the charms bar appears with just a swipe on the track pad. I was thinking maybe it was better without the driver installed ?

 

does anyone know how to get the mouse from acting up ? It keeps starting up the charms bar on me, very annoying.

Also, how do you get the Simple Pass Launch Site from the taskbar permanently ? If I use it I don't want the program to pop up
