Not a problem. If you are not comfortable manually editing the registry, MVP
Kelly has a small VBS script that will do this automagically. Go to her
website at the following address and scroll down to Line 53, left side.
Click the "Remove past items from the notification area" link to download
the file. Double click to run.
