XP and the inactive icon in taskbar option

Ok, as we all know, xp has a really nice feature to help hide all the annoying icons on the bottom right courner. It's really nice to hide stuff not used often, but you are still forced to leave in the right hand side. Well, here's my question. When you go into the list to choose weither to "always hide", "always show", or "hide when inactive". I see a long list of programs that have been removed from my computer. So where is this list comming from? Is it a registry entry? Or is there a folder in the Windows folder that cache's this list of programs?
Included is a picture of what I'm talking about.

There's a bigger pic in the desktop thread in the steam room... One day. There's also a link to it and a few others in that thread. I'll let you wait to get in and search for it. If you can't find it, then I'll give you the link. :D ;)
