Vista sp1 Fully patched
After running CCleaner Tray Notifications cleanup, and restarting computer, i found that the notification tray still had All pasticons and settings :angry:
this is not ccleaner's fault as a registry search finds no sign of
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify|IconStreams
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TrayNotify|PastIconsStream
HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify|IconStreams
HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify|PastIconsStream

however i for one cannot find hide-nor-hair of any new location.
I'm hoping someone else can (or already has) do better than me in locating, and that we can return this function to CCleaner

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)
ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

I don't know how Vista works, however in XP I've noticed to get the Tray Notification Cache to respect the tray settings you choose such as in Always Hide or Always Show, etc., without your settings disappearing on the next reboot you need to restart Windows immediately after letting CCleaner empty the Tray Notification Cache.
This is true for vista SP1 as well :P
