Where is the task bar file

[petecostel]

Hi,
I have looked everywhere, I cannot find the "task bar" file on my PC. I want to edit out some of the listings in the "past items" portion ?
Thanks

Ok, if you want to get rid of some icons from the taskbar, then go to start>run> type msconfig . Go to startup tab and uncheck what you don't need and it isn't vital...and restart.

Or do you mean the icons that remain in the taskbar after uninstaling something?

For past icons:
Start>Run>type regedit
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify
Delete IconStreams and PastIconsStream
DO NOT EDIT/DELETE ANYTHING ELSE IN THERE !
Restart!
