Default HELP - How to clean up Systray?

johnf said:

If I go into Customise Notifications, it's broken in two sections, Current
Items & Past Items.

In Past Items there is lots of rubbish, e.g.

"Your display is e-color corrected" (I tried e-color out once and later
uninstalled it)
LightFrame idle (which has my AV icon alongside it !!)

A few others which are still valid but only used very occasionally also have
wrong icons.

I have searched everywhere, but cannot find where this Past Items listing is
stored.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Delete the IconStreams and PastIconsStream values from the following
registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify
END PROCESS for Explorer.exe, then restart it.
