That annoying nView Icon saves the day

Every time I install the nvidia drivers I always get rid of all the nView crap. I'm using the music program that runs in OpenGL and I loaded it up and it's running at like 2 FPS which is impossible to create anything in. I try a ton of crap to get it to work with no luck.
I DL the latest drivers and I have this epiphany usually OpenGL programs mess up my second monitor, but this one doesn't... I use nView to save my current desktop setup and create a 1 monitor profile. The program runs like a champ. When I close it 2 clicks and I am back to normal 2 screen setup.
Kinda makes me wonder what other things do I attack and disable that could possibly make my computing life easier???

The quicktime icon in the taskbar makes my life easier. Instead of just clicking on a file and having it load, I can just click on the icon in the taskbar and have quicktime load, then go to File->Open and browse through my directory structure to open it.

That little clock down there in the tray comes in pretty handy too.

how is that quicker than right click>open with ? or, if it's already associated, just double clicking?

nForce tray, volume, firewall icon, network connection, and anapod explorer icon.
The only ones I have visible are the firewall and network connection, but the others come in handy at certain times.
I hate junk in the system tray that loads at startup, but I still like having things easily accessible:
