    Old entries still appear on "SELECT WHICH ICONS APPEAR ON THE TASKBAR"


    Hi folks,

    First time posting here. Hopefully one of you registry whiz-kids can help me out.

    Basically, I know it's a little thing, but it's certainly bothered me enough to set up an account here at TenForums. I'm something of a neatness freak, y'know.

    So, if you go to SETTINGS > SYSTEM > NOTIFICATIONS & ACTIONS > SELECT WHICH ICONS APPEAR ON THE TASKBAR.

    It gives a list of all the icons you can make visible one taskbar ... including ones I have uninstalled and will never use again! *Mad It even has the "Get Windows 10" option on there, even though I've now upgraded to Windows 10. I mean C'MON, MAN!

    Is there any kind of hack or tweak that you guys know of that will let me delete these unwanted entries and clear the list up? (I've attached a picture with a couple of these unwanted entries circled.)

    Thanks in advance, although I doubt this is actually doable, as it's probably embedded in the OS! Just another Windows quirk I'll have to live with!

    But any advice would be gratefully received ...

    Regards,

    Marko

    :)

    "Select which icons appear on taskbar" (Uninstalled Applications Still Showing Here?)

    It's in this registry key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify

    Delete the two values namely "IconStreams" and "PastIconsStream"

    For best results, right-click Taskbar, click Exit Explorer. Open Task Manager, launch regedit.exe and do as above. Then start a new instance of explorer.exe

    "Select which icons appear on taskbar" (Uninstalled Applications Still Showing Here?)

    I recently uninstalled an application, and it's still showing up in "Select which icons appear on taskbar".

    Is there a way to reset this? Or otherwise manually remove the entry? Where is the entry hiding?

    Using Windows 10.

    Thanks for any tips...
