You can completely remove the desktop properties extension program (sorry, don't know what the thing is actually called ) and not touch the drivers. You'll still have acceleration. At least you did with all the driver's I've been running. Also, without that removal step, you can simply turn off the tray icon and all other desktop-visible signs. And still keep the drivers as well as the extensions to the desktop properties (settings | advanced). Do you think I'd be running my desktop with all sorts of tray icons? Please. I keep 3.. Dialup Network connection, Trillian and sound.

I hope someone would be smacked if you couldn't turn stuff like that off. Now, I know of other software where you don't get that flexibility...
