Hi,
xp pro with sp2
When I go to (taskbar and start menu properties) then taskbar
and click on customize, in (past items) I see some things
there like (temp1: 30C ) which must have been from speedfan,
I don't have this program in my laptop anymore.
So is there anyway to clear past items? from that menu or not?
the only thing I see there is ( hide when inactive, always show and
always hide). I have click on restore defaults but that don't clear it
past items.
Now this is not a big deal just would like to know if it can be done
or not. Thanks

Now, open Task Manager (ctrl-alt-del), click the Processes tab, click Explorer.exe, and then click End Process

Still in in Task Manager, click File>New Task, type:
