Past Items Removal?
I noticed that in my Taskbar & Start Menu properties Customize
Notifications dialog box under Past Items that there are still some items showing that I have long ago deleted from my machine or no longer use. Example: Avast, SuperAntiSpyware and even a folder from a trojan I once had on my system, AntiVirGear, that I thought I had gotten rid of. ( My AVG, etc, do not pick-up anything on this now however). How do I delete these folders or programs from here and is it safe to do so, or are they best left alone? My System: Acer TravelMate 2450 Windows XP-Home-SP2 Windows Explorer 7 Tanks for any info! |

You can run the script available here to remove those items.
