Hello

Wonder if anyone can help.
I have Windows XP Home, and if I bring up the taskbar
properties > Task bar > Customise, It will list past
items. Some of the items are no longer installed on my
computer.
How can I remove them from the list?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Atul
 
To clear the Past Items list, perform the following steps:
1.. Delete the IconStreams and PastIconsStream values from the following
registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNot
ify

2.. Open Task Manager, click the Processes tab, click Explorer.exe, and
then click End Process.
3.. In Task Manager, click File, click New Task, type explorer, and then
click OK.
