What might be the reason for the Past Items list.

I can highlight and enter Always show, Always Hide, etc ,but otherwise do nothing with them except go thru the steps to remove all past Items then they just build back and the list just grows and grows.

Would appreciate any info as to the purpose of Past Items.

Thanks in advance
 
the reason is for it to know what to do with it (hide it or not) if a past
item emerges again. Indeed it would be good if windows would let us delete
the old ones.

However you can clear all the list if you want

go to this page http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

scroll to line 53. Remove Past Items From Notification Area

and apply the VBS file... (visual basic script)

Thanks Kenny,

I know how to remove them, I just wondered why they existed in the first place.
