Notification Tray

[Jonas Karud]

I have a problem with my icons in the notification tray, they come and go
intermittently.

Is there a way to remove earlier icons in the properties for the
notification icons, maybe in the registry?

I tried to remove the "PastIconStream" key in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNot
ify

But then no icons appeared at all!


Thanks, Jonas

I have the same problem. Apparently, it's a bug in XP.
