I did not know all that was there. Now the question is-what is all that stuff
like Dancer-Resting, Get you treats for Halloween. Where on earth did these
come from. It is under the item for notification.

notification area
The area on the taskbar to the right of the taskbar buttons. The
notification area displays the time and can also contain shortcuts that
provide quick access to programs, such as Volume Control and Power Options.
Other shortcuts can appear temporarily, providing information about the
status of activities. For example, the printer shortcut icon appears after a
document has been sent to the printer and disappears when printing
is complete.

If listed under Current Items, something that is running on your machine.
If listed under Past Items, something that has run at least once on your
