Windows 7 - Remove notification area icons?

Hi, I clicked on the bottom right of my taskber, where is says "show hidden icons".
I then clicked on customize and found 2 program icons that I had previously uninstalled. One was; Registrybooster and the other Revouninstaller.
I opened Regedit and found nothing conserning these 2 programs.
How do I remove them off the notification area. I don't just wont to hide them.

In registry editor go here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify

Delete: "PasteIconsSteam" and "IconStreams" keys.

Close the registry editor and then go into task manager and kill the explorer.exe process.

Restart your computer, and hopefully the uninstalled programs should dissapear from your notification area!

Hope this helps.
