Evan Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Saw this article on a little program that cleans what it calls "Past Icons" from the registry. The first thing I thought when reading this was, "I wonder if CCleaner does this?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted April 10, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 10, 2008 CCleaner has had that ability from the very first versions. It's listed in Cleaner->Advanced->Tray Notifications Cache The only thing though you have to manually end Explorer.exe for them to be cleaned, then manually restart Explorer.exe (all done via CTRL+ALT+DEL). The really easy way of getting rid of them is what I've always used which is a script by Doug Knox and Kelly Theriot available at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm, it's: 53. Remove Past Items From Notification Area. This script automatically ends, then restarts Explorer.exe - of course I've found out that you actually need to restart Windows afterwards in order to configure the icons display settings.
