Task Bar and Start Menu Properties

[Guest Too Old]

I have XP Home Edition. When I right click on the Start button and sselect

properties a window pops up. Then I select Taskbar and click on Customize.

Another window pops up called Customize Notifications. It shows 2

lists.....current items and past items. On the past items list are programs

I no longer have on my computer, but they are still listed there. How do I

delete them from this list? Thanks.

Go to Start Buton\Run\write: "regedit" (w/o quotes) and hit Enter, next

browse to the "TrayNotify" key following the registry path below, click on

the TrayNotify key and on the right pane, double click on each reg_binary

value named "IconStreams" and "PastIconStream", and delete the data (or

delete the two mentioned keys), and restart the computer for the icons to

disappear from the Taskbar Properties. Before any registry edition it is

recommended to backup the registry key you are about to edit... you can do

this with a right click on the "TrayNotify" key, and select "Export", select

location and type a name for the backup file.

 

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify\PastIconsStream"
