Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Sp1

Have tried Rainmeter before but now, the theme I got install won´t let the windows 7 start orb dissapearr...

Is there anyway to delete the Windows 7 Start orb? If yes, can you tell me...

Thnx

what skin are you using?
do you mean a start orb in a rainmeter skin?
or do you mean the start button in the taskbar?

In the taskbar

Start Killer can have issues with other programs that affect the taskbar - in my case, my bar breaks if I use Start Killer and Dexpot's taskbar desktop switcher at the same time. Still, it's the only decent option I've seen for what you're asking. Though, perhaps you might be able to find an "empty" start orb skin, and change the Start Orb Image to that one? The orb would still be there, just invisible. And I don't know if anyone has made a Start Orb image like this...

Just make a blank .png and replace the start orb. There are dussins of guides out there.
I don't think, therefore I'm not.
