Hi, Dave.

Since Customize Notifications... is greyed out, you probably need to
right-click the clock, then click Properties. This should pop up the
Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window. (Yes, there are other ways to get
to this same window.) On the very bottom of this window is a box for Hide
inactive icons; be sure this one is checked. Then you can get to the
Customize Notifications window either by clicking the Customize button here
or by going back to right-clicking the clock.
