Hello,
Thank You for your rapid response. I need to know where do I type
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify
" so I can follow the remaining instructions. I have searched for it in the
window explorer, but I don't know where it is, and I have pasted the path to
the run box but it will not show me anything, the search section says that it
is not a folder and it did not show it to me. Please help me.

Thank You
 
Go to Start > Run and type: REGEDIT , and hit enter.

The following tool also has a feature to clear past
notifications items if you are uncomfortable with
editing the registry.

Hello,
I would just like to say thank you for helping me resolve my issue of past
items in the customize notification area, I used the
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm and it got rid of all the
past items. Once again thank you. I had programs that I unistalled, but the
funny things is that there icons were left in the past icon section, when I
uninstall it should disappear from all section but they still leave traces
everywhere which take up unecessary space. I wonder where else are these
unistalled programs hiding that are taking valuable space. If you know and
can tell me where they are and how to do delete them I would appreciate it.
