How do I get old task bar items to show up again? I
right click on the bar->Properties->customize, then
scroll down and there are a bunch of icons in "Past
Items" section. Select "Always show" in the drop down of
the item I want and "apply". Nothing shows. I've tried
re-booting and it is still in the "past items" section.

Hi Ed,

If you want to remove the unwanted ShellNew entries, obtain and install the
Windows XP version of TweakUI. Download it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p.../powertoys.asp

Open TweakUI (it's in Start -> Programs -> Powertoys for Windows XP). Goto
Templates tab in TweakUI and remove the shellnew entries there.

Manual Procedure:
Without using TweakUI, you may need to delete the registry entries manually.

HKCR\.xxx\ShellNew
(xxx is the file type)

and

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\Discardable\PostSetu
p\ShellNew

NOTE: Before editing the registry, always backup the appropriate registry
key.

Thanks Ramesh that's good to know, but I want to get it
back into the tray. I have not removed it, but no matter
what option I pick, "Always show" or "Hide when
inactive", I can't get it to show.

Ed,

Please ignore the previous post. That was not for you.

See: Why don't my Notification Area icons show or why do they disappear?
