how do i get rid of past items under customize notification in task bar and start menu properties hide inactive icons ->customize ?

In the start menu just right-click the icon/program and select "remove from this list". It will remove the shortcut but will not remove the program. To clear the whole menu, right-click the taskbar, select properties, select Start Menu, select customize, and select "Clear List".

Same with hiding inactive icons.

it didnt work right click task bar>property>taskbar>customize>past items>/ u cannot right click on them to remove from list

It works. Try again. Not the way you did it. Do it step-by-step the way I did it.

No MSNWar you are talking about start menu items he wants the past notification items:

- Right click an empty area of the taskbar

- Select Properties

- On the task bar tab make sure 'Hide inactive icons' is ticked and click 'Customize...'

- In the list box there are 2 section 'Current Items' and 'Past Items'

He wants to remove all the Past Items(and so do I actually, loads of crap in there lol)

Open Regedit

then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify

find IconStreams and PastIconStream then delete both...

Open task manager, endtask explorer.exe and then re-start explorer by going to file>run then explorer.exe

OK I actually did that but didn't think to restart explorer, silly me.

Thanks Bretenn
