If you're talking about the list that appears when you open the start menu, you can right-click on your task bar (the bar at the bottom, somewhere between the start button and the clock).

Then go to the "START MENU" tab, and click "CUSTOMIZE". Under "GENERAL", click "CLEAR LIST."

At least, that's what I think you mean by "icons from past items". If this didn't answer your question, could you take a screenshot of your desktop and circle what you want to be removed? Then upload it to an image hosting site like photobucket, imageshack, or tinypic?

Oh... I see what you mean now. You want to clear your "hide inactive icons" icon list.

Go to LINK and search for "remove past icons". I haven't tried it, so you might want to back up your registry first, but that looks like it would work.
