Remove Old Notification Icons In Windows 7
If you have been running Windows 7 for some time you might notice eventually that some of the notification icons that are displayed in the customize dialog are those of programs that are no longer installed on the computer system. Neither the software program nor the Windows operating system seem to remove those old notification icons from the system tray automatically.
This can be a problem because of two reasons: The customize dialog will grow over time with new notification icons added but none removed. It will take longer to customize the system tray icons. The second is privacy as the icons will reveal information about programs that have been used on the computer system in the past.
