    Okay, it might seem a stupid question, but on the bottom right bar where the startup icons are, I took away the protector suite (fingerprint program) from loading onto the startup. Unfortunately, now there is an empty spot next to the battery icon. I really don't want that empty spot, so what do I do? I tried to put another startup icon, but it would not replace the empty spot. I know it seems kinda dumb, but I just wanted to fix it. Thanks.

    I have an empty space beside my battery too. It takes like 1/2 an icon width.

    That spot's always there, you can't get rid of it. I guess it's a divider between system and misc. icons.

    The right symbols in the taskbar are "Systemsymbols" which are always there. (Right click at taskbar >> Properties)

    Ha... you're right, there is a slight gap there, I never noticed before.
