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 .
