What's that Icon in my System Tray


Generally the System Tray (Systray) is located at the bottom right hand side of the screen and is next to the current time. The following is what the Systray could look like:

The systray can have several icons in the box and each of these icons can generally be determined by simply moving the mouse cursor over the icon.
