Controlling inactive icons in the "notification area"

When you right click on the taskbar and choose properties, you get the "Task Bar and Start Menu Properties" box. At the bottom of the box (while under the "taskbar" tab) There is a "Customize" button which allows you to specify which icons you want hidden when inactive, or always hidden or never hidden etc... This we all know.

My question is this: There are quite a few "Past Items" that I no longer have the program installed for, how do I remove these?
 
To clear the Past Items list, perform the following steps:

Delete the IconStreams and PastIconsStream values from the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify
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.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
