Removing no longer used notification items from taskbar and startu
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. -- emm |

Removing no longer used notification items from taskbar and st
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. -- emm "Ray Parrish" wrote: Here's how you do it - 1.Open Regedit, Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\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 .
