    1. Choose the LiveBoost tab.

    1. Check or uncheck the box next to the first option, Display changes in System Tray.

    1. Click the system tray up arrow on the lower right to call up the hidden icons box.

    1. Once your mouse pointer is over Customize… release the mouse button and click Customize… once
