Remove obsolete entries "icon" of those listed in "Customize icons in the Taskbar" (CP) or the show hidden icons "Customize..."(taskbar)? ' ""

On the Notifications tab & icons, is there a way to get rid of obsolete icons and programs that collect there? You can access to this through Control Panel or by clicking the link to customize after clicking the arrow display icons hidden in the taskbar. I tried a few CPU temp programs that they are listed still here monitoring. If they cannot be deleted, then any program that is to want a time display in the taskbar will be there forever and list will grow and grow!

Interesting.  The download at this link is a .reg file that makes the following changes:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify]
'PastIconsStream ' = -.
"IconStreams" = -.

Fair enough, it removes the two values of a key.

What is interesting, is that these values contain binary data streams, apparently encrypted.  Mine are more than 64 K bytes in size!  Foreign to the notion of normal registry operations...  So bad that same RegEdit is struggling with its small dialog to display all that data!

Who, in their minds at Microsoft's storage of large chunks of binary data in the registry like this?

Why is it not these data in a file instead?  No one listened when all these millions of people are complaining about bloating and demanding of periodical Vista reinstall?

  • remove obsolete entries from backup

    Hello!

    Under Microsoft Backup & restore, I have obsolete entries in the backup directory. The backup file that contains the original entry has been removed. How to remove the entry date in the stock of backup?

    If you have a retail version of Windows 7, I believe you get two free calls.  If you have an OEM version, you are supposed to get help from your manufacturer.  MS provides a tax service.

    Thanks for the comment that they should pay me.  If they wanted to send me money, I'm sure that I wouldn't turn it down.  I'm not holding my breath well.  :-)

  • How to remove obsolete device of PSE WIA list?

    When the address IP of one of my scans changed (because of failure), two lists of the scanner now appear as separate devices with the same name in the list of PSE9 WIA - one of them with the old obsolete IP address.  The same device is also listed with the new address and it works.  How do I remove the WIA listing with the old IP address?

    Only one entry per IP address for this HP printer/scanner appears in the list of printers in Windows 7. This list of WIA is therefore a remnant of the past. How can I get rid of him?

    Problem solved!

    I was able to remove the obsolete scanner by removing device drivers in the Manager of imaging devices.

    Additional information: the scanner in question has been installed by using a specific IP address because it was not otherwise discoverable on the network at the time of installation due to a firewall issue.  After a power failure, the router assigned a different IP address to this scanner, making the old IP unreachable.

    HP support was nonexistent, but probably would not have been useful because it is one of these problems of interface between the security software and scanner installation software.  Sigh...

    Thanks to both of you who have offered their help... very appreciated.

  • Z10 blackBerry how to remove all entries from the Local calendar?

    My calendar shows my email entered account and all is well.  However, I think that when I transferred all of my Bold 9900 he faces a bunch of entries in the local calendar (House) that I don't want.  I would like to delete all entries in the local calendar.  How can I do this?  Thank you!

    Unfortunately you can't remove individual events right now. The fastest way to remove events is the 'Month' tab, then tap and hold events in the list and select 'Delete' from the side menu.

  • Need help to remove an entry from the "orphan" ESXi4/vSphere inventory

    I would apprecate a help because I seem to have managed to myself in a bit of a tie knot.

    Having recently installed ESXi 4, we are moving some old servers VMWare 1.09 virtual machines to new ESXi box. I copied one of the virtual machines in the store and then added to the inventory database. When the machine refused to start then I tried to run the hardware upgrade process.

    When this is not so, I have to admit that I do not and I then spent to the data store and delete the folder that contains this virtual machine instead of using the option "remove disc" in the context menu of the inventory.

    So I find myself with an entry of the inventory that doesn't really exist anymore. I tried to copy the VM for exactly the same folder in the data store in the hope that this would then allow me to remove the inventory screen. However, when I right click on the object of the inventory, the options "remove disc" and "Remove from inventory" are both greyed out.

    Is there another way to delete this orphan entry?

    Thanks in advance.

    Phil.

    Hello

    In ESXi, your inventory is maintained in the file /etc/vmware/hostd/vmInventory.xml

    Edit the file and see if the virtual computer is listed.  If this is the case, remove it.  For example:

    <ConfigRoot>
    <configEntry id="0000">
    <objID>16</objID>
    <vmxCfgPath>/vmfs/volumes/4b630d21-8dc368cb-98ea-002219654c96/BADVM.vmx</vmxCfgPath>
    </configEntry>
    ....
    
    </ConfigRoot>
    

    The file backup, first of all, then delete < configEntry > to < / ConfigEntry >, save the file, and then restart the management agents. Once you sign in again with the VIC, we should have the virtual machine.

    I found the show/hide button toolbars, but you should know how to REMOVE toolbars that appear on this list?

    Is attached a screenshot of my screen with the context menu to show/hide tabs. I want to delete some of them and let others. Please help me to know how. Thank you!

    Hmm, maybe this "one-time" imported into the new preference? Try this:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste the cust and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference of browser.uiCustomization.state and the content must be highlighted in a small dialog box.

    (4) copy the whole line and paste it into Notepad and save it as a backup.

    (5) in Firefox, click on the button '3-bar' menu > developer > Notepad. Remove the comment that appears and paste data preferably, that must appear on a long line. Click on the "Pretty Print" button to make it more readable.

    So I hope that you can spot the extra toolbars and change them out, taking care to preserve the commas between the elements.

    I don't have the extra toolbars in mine, but I copied and pasted back this spaced format and Firefox was able to handle it well. I went into customize and moved a button, and when I left, Firefox has rewritten the preference set as a single line. Assuming that yours works fine, then you can get rid of the backup from step (4).

  • Remove bookmarks toolbar icons?

    In the old version of Firefox I was using, it was easy to choose from 3 options for the bookmarks toolbar. display icons only, only the display names, display names and icons.

    I chose to display names only because it saves space.

    I downloaded the latest version of Firefox, and now it seems impossible to remove bookmarks toolbar icons. (Others have asked about this, but the answers were unnecessary).

    I reinstalled an old version of Firefox and still I can't get rid of the icons.

    Please help me to get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar!

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You can try these:

    a. go to the start menu and select desktop or double-click top from the desktop.

    b. go to the Tools menu, select options and then select option files and hidden folders.

    c. navigate to the folder... \Windows\. If you are presented with a warning about the change of system files, click on the link "View files" to continue.

    d. look in this folder for the background name you want to delete. If this is not the case, try looking in these places:

    i. Windows\Web\Wallpaper directory

    II. the "My pictures" folder This inside "My Documents".

    III. If you are using Internet explorer, it can be stored in C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet explore

    e. If you still haven't found it, go into the Start Menu search. Click "all files and folders" and enter the name of the background to locate.

    f. When you have located the file, you can either delete or move to a new folder. Try to create a folder named Backgrounds moved. If you move the file into the new folder, it will be removed from your list, but still available on your PC if you change your mind.
