Im new to TinyCore and used the same file to remove icons on the wbar. Upon restart they return. Is there something I am doing wrong?
TC will recreate the file on reboot unless you have some sort of backup that will be restored. I have to confess I've not used any of the backups options but there are wiki/forum posts on what files control backup.
One other idea would be to simply not load wbar all together, this could either be achieve through backing up a modified .xsession file or simply passing the "noicons" boot code.
