If you really want to remove the icons from startup, you could probably
whack them with ResEdit, but why? They let you know whats loading. And
can possibly tell you where something goes wrong if you have boot problems.
I think all Init's should have startup icons...if you disable them, you
could spend alot longer figuring out a problem related to inits without 
them....
