Cleaning of inactive icons from systray?


Eldmannen

Recommended Posts

Right-click Taskbar, select "Properties".

Now there is a checkbox that says "Hide inactive icons" along with a "Customize..." button.

 

How do I clean that list?

It would be good if CCleaner could clean that list.

Where are all those things saved?

It does already go to Advanced / tray notification cache you will have to restart explorer via task manager after cleaning

Did you remember to stop and then restart Explorer.exe via the task manager

Another way to do it is visit kellys-korner-xp.com (a great site) then scroll down to: 53. Remove Past Items From Notification Area

 

It's a .vbs file (it's safe) that you run, it will automatically end task Explorer.exe and restart it. However it's best to restart Windows because if you try to customize the icons in the SysTray they won't stay configured the way you put them which is the reason you need to restart Windows.
