Modifying your registry can cause serious problems. Please make a restore point or export the keys affected by these registry files. The batch files export the registry keys for you and are placed in
My Documents under
RegBackup.
If you are not sure how to export or merge registry keys, I have written a quick
tutorial.
This registry file removes the cached list of icons that appear in the hide inactive icons menu.
None really, the exported key from the batch file will undo it.
If the registry patch alone is applied it cannot be undone though.
The list will regenerate itself.
So, the only problem would be setting show/hide restrictions on icons
that aren't in the list since it has been cleared.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify]
"IconStreams"=hex:00
"PastIconsStream"=hex:00
- ClearPastTrayIcons.bat
- ClearPastTrayIcons.reg
Save #1 to your desktop, double-click the batch file, the affected registry key will be exported for you, and the registry file will be merged. If you want to undo just merge the EXPORT_Filename.reg file.
Usually your computer must be restarted for these to take effect.
