Question regarding hiding inactive icons in the system tray

Hopefully this isn't a repost, I did a quick search and found nothing, so here goes with the question:

In WinXP, there is the option to hide inactive icons in the system tray... That's great and all, since I have a lot of stuff running such as Tiny Personal Firewall and my antivirus and such.. The problem is, for some reason it will not save my settings when I set something to be "always hidden".. Every few days it undoes what I set it to (mainly for Tiny Personal Firewall). Anyone else have the same problem, or is there a fix as to where I can make it stay "always hidden", and not change itself back to "hide when inactive"?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help, and if you need any other info, let me know.. I'll check back every few hours to see if I've got any responses, so don't get mad if I don't respond within a couple of minutes please... Thanks!!!
 
IF YOU USE THIS REGISTRY EDIT IT WILL CLEAR THEM ALL AND THEN START FROM SCRATCH AGAIN


Clear system tray history=HKey_Current_User\ Software\ Microsoft \Windows \Explorer \Tray notify
Delete= Icon Steams
Past Icon Streams

I did this and it clears the history of past icons. It worked for me. I think ZP kind of has a mind of it's own when it comes to the system tray lol.
 
Some icons/programs misbehave, and theres not really anything you can do, other then contact the developer and tell them the problem.
