Removing no longer used notification items from taskbar and startu

[Guest edimerq]

Is there some way to remove no longer used notification items from the

Taskbar and Start menu properties? I mean that place you find when you ---

 

Right click on the taskbar at the bottom of the desktop, (click Properties),

(click Hide inactive icons), (click Customize) then look in (Past Items).

 

In that place there is a antivirus 2009 folder, which is a virus I already

removed from my computer, and that is the only thing I am not able to remove.

I don't want to download any more softwares to remove it. I've already done

that. I just want to know if there is a way to remove things from that place

on my own.

Here's how you do it -

 

1.Open Regedit, Go to:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify

 

2.Delete the IconStreams and PastIconsStream values

 

3.Open Task Manager, click the Processes tab, click Explorer.exe , and

then click End Process .

 

4.In Task Manager, click File , click New Task , type explorer , and

then click OK .

Hey thanks Ray Parish. It got rid of all those unneeded icons. Specially that

hateful antivirus 2009 folder. I don't know why I did not ask that question

earlier. I supposed they will start to build up again. But now I know what to

do. Thanks again.
