geeteam Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 -- Clean the Notification Area Icon Cache -- After using Windows for a while, installing and uninstalling programs, you will end up with a long list of icons showing up in the notification area, on the taskbar, especially when scrolling through the Notification Area Icons window. If some of the programs have been removed, there is no way to remove their icons from the list. So, what do you do? Read on and learn the best way to solve this problem. Download Notification_Area_Cleaner below, extract it and inside you will find the Notification_Area_Cleaner.bat file. Double click the file and Run. explorer.exe is restarted, and the notification area icon cache is cleared.

TShadow Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Not everybody wants to run ccleaner for such a trivial task or even cares/understands about its configuration (my girl friend e.g.), so giving those people a nice simple bat file does the job and frees you from explaining for hours how ccleaner works B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
