I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 running WM 6.1.

One of my utility programs, SK Tools, lets me examine the Notification Queue.
I used to do this frequently with my old iPAQ 2210 when troubleshooting
issues about alarms, reminders, etc. But today was the first time I've done
so since buying the TP2 last summer.

I was surprised to find 195 entries, of which 150 were duplicates. Doesn't WM
automatically manage this database? Surely the duplicates should not have to
be removed by the user?

I deleted the duplicates using the facility in SK Tools. On immediately
re-checking the queue after restart it has 45 entries, including 4
duplicates. Here's an example, showing what SK Tools displays:

Start if time changes
\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\MSPPDUGateway_TimeChangeEvent

It's totally obscure to me but maybe someone here can explain what it is and
why it should be immediately duplicated please?

1. This has always been a problem with WinMo - not only in WM6, but also
back in the WM2003 times. To my knowledge, there isn't a way of forcing the
OS not to post these messages in the queue - all you can do is cleaning
them up regularly.

2. You can safely clean up the queue - never has anyone run into any
problems (ever since 2003, where this problem was first discussed) because
of cleanups.
