    How to remove program from Select which icons appear on the taskbar


    I installed a program called eXtrabuttons and then uninstalled it but it still shows in "Select which icons appear on the taskbar". I did a search on the registry and removed all references to the program (xb.exe). How do I get rid of this thing???
