XP Notifications on Taskbar

[Guest]

Is there a way to clean up the "Past Items" on the Notifications screen under
Taskbar? How does XP determine what is current and what is past? I have set
some items on the past list to "always show", yet the don't appear in the
date area.

Search for Past Items in Help & Support, on the Start
Menu. The bottom button, Knowledge Base, item one is what
you're looking for . . .

To clear the Past Items list, perform the following steps:
1. Delete the IconStreams and PastIconsStream values from
the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Explorer\TrayNotify
2. Open Task Manager, click the Processes tab, click
Explorer.exe, and then click End Process.
3. In Task Manager, click File, click New Task, type
explorer, and then click OK.

Good Luck !
