There are several programs which i have removed from my computer, the problem is when i right click on my bottom taskbar, click properties and pick customize, there seems to be alot of past items which i no longer have and and still reside. How can i manage to permanently remove these items from that menue. thanks

This is how you do it 1.Open Regedit, Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\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 .
