On toolbar (Bottom Right) Right Click>Properties>Taskbar & Start menu properties>Costomize>Current Cusrtomize notifications>You then get current items> if you scroll down you get, or i have got a huge list of Past Items, do you know of anyway of clearing the past items Glenn

Choose to "hide inactive icons*... Not sure exactly what you mean though by "bottom right" .. if your talking about the system tray (were your clock is) then right clicking on it will not do it. You need to click on start.. then run.. type msconfig.. and under the startup tab you will be able to enable/disable any startup applications there.

Yes I Meant system tray. It you follow instructions you will see what i mean..Not start up items but past items, I cannot get anyone to understand yet if the following is followed, you will see what i mean. Right Click on tool bar near system tray then>Properties>Taskbar>Customize>Cusrtomize notifications>You then get current items> if you scroll down you get, or i have got a huge list of Past Items, do you know of anyway of clearing the past items

The reason no one is following you is because if you have "Hide inactive icons" checked (which most do as it helps performance) then you dont have the option to "customize"..

Not to worry, but if you right click toolbar and click properties the option to customize is there even when you have hide inactive icons ticked. If you then scroll down the items you will find Past Items it is these iam trying to remove not just hide as they are a waste of space. Cheers anyway Glenn

What Crow was getting on to was if you uncheck the "Hide Inactive icons" check mark, you won't have the option to customize, therefore saving space. By the way, When Crow and I said it saved some space. That space is so little. It's more of a human thing... We want everything organized and perfect. Anyways, I'm glad you got it to work.
