Taskbar Beauty Clear Win 7 Notification Area Invalid Icon

  
As we all know, under Win7 system, many programs are turned off when running in the foreground, and will automatically remain in the taskbar. However, the Win7 taskbar has a feature that if the number of trays in the taskbar is too large, it will shrink into the passive view list. This sometimes causes many users to place too many invalid icons under the "Show/Hide Icons" list, causing the system to run slowly. Moreover, some programs will automatically display an icon in the taskbar notification area at runtime to indicate that it is being executed. In the Win7 system, although it is possible to customize whether to display these program icons, whether it is the program currently used or the program that has been uninstalled As long as you stay in the notification area, it will be recorded and stayed.


Thoroughly deleting these invalid icons is actually very necessary for the user. Let me introduce the easiest way to solve this problem.

Click on the Start menu and type "Regedit" in the search box and press Enter to open the Registry Editor and select HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Classes\\Local Settings\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\TrayNotify.


You can export the contents of this part of the registry first by right-clicking on the TrayNotify item, selecting "Export", and then deleting the following "IconStreams" and "PastIconsStream" key values. Press F5 to refresh and exit the Registry Editor. After modification, you can restart the computer or press "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" to call up the task manager, end the "explorer.exe" process, wait a moment and then click "File/New Task" on the Task Manager and enter " Explorer and make sure that the taskbar reappears, and we find that the invalid program icons in the notification area are gone. Solving the problem in this way is simple for many users and also replaces a lot of third-party optimization software. Of course, these optimization software can achieve the same effect, but we manually implement this process and grow. I know.
