Remove Notification Icon That Stayed After Program Was Uninstalled?
May 1, 2011
I did a stupid thing- installed a "free" program then realized they were going to charge me to actually use it, so I immediately uninstalled it but have discovered there is a notification icon left that I would like to uninstall as well but cannot figure out how to do so. Am including some computer specs.

I don't remember the exact date, but before, whenever I startup my laptop, I always have the Dolby notification icon in the bottom right. But now, I don't know what I did, the notification icon never appears for Dolby. The settings for that icon is set to "Show" but whenever I click on it again, it says "This notification is currently not active" Eventhough, I'm pretty sure it's on.I tried reinstalling, but I keep getting error messages once it's reinstalled. So I have to use System Restore, and this has been driving me nuts...and this keeps going in circles.I think there is something wrong with the registry of this program.When I go to the program location, I have a Dolby Profile Selector, Dolby Profile Editor, and Dolby Profile Launcher...I am so confused now, as I always had the Notification Icon available.I can add Dolby to the Startup Folder, but when turning on the laptop, the entire Dolby profile pops up when Windows 7 boots, and that was not what happened before?

I removed (?) all the bloatware and software I did not wanted to use that came with my Toshiba laptop! Ex: McAfee, Nero, I removed via Control Panel/Uninstall programs! But I know that almost all the time, there are still "bits" of those sw that remain in the computer! My question: how can I remove all those "bits"? For example I saw that somewhere in the Registry (via regedit) there was (still) some McAfee and Nero folders!!! Is it safe to delete those?

I installed a program that works with images and then uninstalled it because it doesn't do the thing I needed it to. However, in a Winrar-style fashion, thumbnails of the images it would work with are replaced with the program's icon. This effect has stayed even though I uninstalled it. It's just an annoyance, but is there a way that I can get the image thumbnails back?

I recently installed and uninstalled a program. However, the entry for the program still remains in the Installed Programs list in the Control Panel. I have examined the Registry keys under uninstall and I cannot find this program listed there to be manually deleted. How do I remove this entry?

The last update:October 15, 2011Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538242)After this update, a program was uninstalled (gone with no trace). The program had a screensaver option and I noticed it when the screensaver came up blank. Its shortcut was no longer on the desktop.Two files I had created October 12th, and was working on were deleted.I don't know if any other files were deleted.

From the Internet I downloaded the sound that I want, Master I have mail for you, and "gotmail07" is in my, Recent Downloads. In Control Panel, Sounds, I clicked on, New Mail Notification, (which has a sound icon in front of it), I imported "gotmail07" and under, Sound Scheme, the system automatically entered, Windows Default, Modified, which I saved. When the test button is clicked the sound does come on BUT there is NO sound when new mail arrives when Yahoo mail is opened.Also, when Yahoo email is opened I went to Tools, Internet Options, Advance, and there IS a check mark for both, Play system sounds and under Media, Play sounds in web pages.Also, there is NO icon for when new mail arrives in the lower right area where the time & date appears.

New to Windows 7, like it a lot, but I have one thing that is driving me batty.On the taskbar, in the notification area, I have many of the standard Windows system icons, volume, power settings, wifi, hidden icons, etc. When I try to access the options in those popup notifications. the notification disappears so quickly that I don't even have time to get my cursor on it. Maybe one in five tries I can get on it before it folds, but for practical purposes trying to use those icons is hopeless. It seems like the 'puter or the OS is just too fast.I found one crackbrain suggestion to take out the battery (I have a laptop) and to press the power button a few times, and them replace battery and boot. Naturally, that solution didn't work, but I tried it anyway. There is also a suggestion about using the Ease of Use to set a time for notifications that doesn't do it. The notification area doesn't play by those rules. 5 seconds? I can't get 1/5 of a second.

No matter how I try to access the Icon Notification Area to customize hidden task bar icons, Win 7 freezes to a great extent. I am running 64 bit Win 7 SP1.
Under these conditions, when I put my pointer onto the task bar it changes into a hand with a pointing index finger. The Icon Notification Area will not show icons and all I get there is an interminable spinning blue circle.
The Task Manager will not correct this condition and I have to close my windows session manually with the power button. It seems something has been corrupted but I am at a loss. I have run chkdsk /f and sfc to no good effect.
I am running some 32 bit programs including MS Office Pro.

I have tried to configure some notification icons to display and others to be hidden. Win7 respects my settings during the session but after a reboot they are back to whatever they were before. Its a real productivity killer for me. I am running inside a standard account. I thought about trying to change the settings in the Admin account but the icons I need to customise don't appear there.

the first is during a disk format of a cd-r or dvd-r the OS displays a notification icon for the process until it is complete. My problem here is the system runs in a program that is kept in the forground and there is no access normally for the start bar or windows. During the time that the notification icon is in the task bar though it allows them full access to the start bar. Is there anyway to disable this notification icon for the formatting process?Is there a way to auto select like a flash drive for burning everytime. Ok so found out that during a format, which i did a dvd-r to keep the notifcation open longer that i could then modify the notifications and see that process to hide it and it looks like it stays hidden now to not pop the start bar to the front of the program.So now i just need to find a way to auto select like a flash drive for burning everytime.

I have several applications in the Notification Area (some call "system tray"). Can anybody tell me how I can access them using Speech recognition?
I do not mean by saying "mousegrid" etc. and drilling down, but wonder if there is a command that I have not found that relates specifically to the Notification Area.

I like to enable the Guest Account on my Windows 7 computer so that my family can also use my PC for simple web surfing.
One thing that I have noticed in Windows 7 is that when in the guest account no network icon appears in the notification area (aka system tray) to tell you the status of the network connection. This is particularly annoying for me as our wireless network connection can be flaky at times (I blame the neighbours!) and it is good to be able to see the status.
Does anyone know how to enable the network status icon in the guest account?

My friend had an issue where he recently installed a program, and then went on to uninstall it. He cleaned out all the registry issues and leftover files. However, in his notification tray (Windows 7 Professional), the app icon remains. Not in the actual notification tray, given that the app never does anything. When he goes to the little arrow, and then hits "Customize", the app shows up. Is there any way to get rid of it manually?He's already reinstalled/re-uninstalled the program. Didn't work.

I am running the RC in Windows Classic Mode for the display. When I click the Safely Remove Hardware to disconnect my external USB HD, I do not get the bubble that I got under XP telling me that it was now safe to remove the device. This also is the case under one of the Win 7 themes.
Have I set up something wrong?

In my notification area (by the time) I have three objects: Sound controls, internet, and Action Center. By clicking on the arrow next to it you see a tray of many other things that I like to keep out of sight. However, often one of these items (For example, Dropbox) will randomly hop out of the tray and into the list with the other three objects and will be in clear sight. It is not just Dropbox that does it (although that seems to be the usual perp), so I don't believe it has something to do with Dropbox connecting all the time or being "active". Is there any solution to this problem? I have tried going into the properties of the notification area ("Customize...") and turning the icons off, but to no avail.

Is there a way to show the Power notification icon in the system tray on a desktop?
In "Turn system icons on or off", the drop-down menu beside Power is grayed out and set to off. After a google search, I found a registry tweak wherein I'm supposed to delete some registry keys that hide notification icons, but these registry keys don't exist.
Keep in mind that I'm on a desktop, which might be why it is disabled. I don't have a UPS so there is no battery to monitor, but I'd like to be able to switch power plans quickly. I might just have to stick with a desktop shortcut.

I recently installed the AVG summer 2012 update & it has left "avgtray.exe.old" in the hidden notification area. This shows when I select "customize"I would like to remove this as it is causing the AVG Icon (avgtray.exe) not to show, when I click on the "show hidden Icons" up arrow and I'm concerned that AVG may not be working properly.avgtray.exe is showing in processes in the task manager & I think it's running properly. It's updates & scans etc.I've uninstalled & re-installed AVG numerous times at the advice of the AVG forum, who have now advised me to contact microsoft.I've also run regedit, deleted Icon streams & past Icon stream and then stopped & restarted explorer.exe. All without success.I'm not sure how to contact microsoft & I keep finding a microsoft technical website, but they want to charge me before I post a question.I've recently checked & other people have also reported this problem on the avg forum.

I'm creating an image which must build in an unattended fashion. The client (the end user of the resulting image) wants to have the icon for one of the included programs included in the notification area. While this CAN be done manually, because of the required build process, I do not have the option of manually adding the program to the notification area; I will need to automate this via a script or other method.I've found VB scripts for adding ("pinning") programs to the Start Menu and Taskbar, but not for the Notification Area.DIT: To clarify further, I want to change the Behavior for this program from "Only show notifications" to "Show icon and notifications", but do so from a command line or script.

Does anyone know how to remove the "safely remove hardware" icon in the taskbar? I do not mean hide it. I have my icons always show in the notification area because I don't like the arrow icon either.
Any ideas?

I installed Windows 7 on a third machine of mine, (Netbook) and all is well except that the boot screen is somewhat similar to that of XP.
There's the green graphic bar, and that's it--no Windows logo, or copywrite date, or anything like that? Any ideas?
