When I right click on the taskbar and click Properties and then Customize
under Notification Area, is there a way to get rid of everything under Past
Items? I only really need the stuff under Current Items, right? Thanks for
your help in advance.

Hi Mark,

Remove Past Items From the Notification Area (Line 53)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Once done, Open Task Manager, click the Processes tab, click Explorer.exe,
and then click End Process. In Task Manager, click File, click New Task,
type explorer, and then click OK.

The "Past Items" values are written to the registry as part of the user log
off process. This is why it is necessary to "crash" Explorer, so the system
will re-read the new values, and not retain the old ones that are already in
memory from a reboot.
