Post your systray snapshot here

[aigle]

Whenever somebody posts a snapshot of his desktop, I like to see what icons he has in his systray. It just gave me an idea, let,s post the snapshots of our systray here with the names of icons, just to have an idea what people are running on there desktop all the time. Please before taking the snapshot, go to the taskbar properties and uncheck the option HIDE INACTIVE ICONS, so that we can see all the icons.

So first of all, I am posting mine, the icons from right to left are, Online armor, Battery, volume, winpatrol, DU Traffic( a dial up monitor), TimeUp( another dial up monitor), TOSHIBA Power saver, PG, Yahoo widget engine, MS antispyware and Norton internet security.

By the way, just above the systray, you can see 4 yahoo widgets showing battery power, memory use and CPU use( from right to left) and an anlog clock.

I don't mean to go OT but Do you know you still have PG in learning mode?

To stay on topic here's mine .... [Eth0 Connection/monitor/Interactive Firewall] and organizer.

So what,s the middle Icon, and I think there are hidden Icons, even I don,t find an AV.

My only hidden icon is EDexter, you can see that the arrow on the systray is pointed to the right which means it is showing all the icons that are hidden

I hate having very much in my system tray. As you can see, only 1 thing down there. All the rest have been hidden :)

Same thinking here. I want to at least see that my security apps are up and running. The rest is best hidden.

Its Hostman, a device that runs under 1 MB of RAM that locks the host file, and can check for updates. It also can act as a little HTTP server, so whenever a host file blocks something, the "Action Cancelled" message doesn't show and instead a custom one does. This speeds up the loading of web pages since the computer isn't trying to connect to a non-existant website.

Hi there,
just out of curiosity, how long have you been running your system 'only' with Deep Freeze?
Have you ever experienced anything odd going on while in the frozen mode?

[SpikeyB]

-{ Quote: "Hi there,

Sometimes while surfing my browser has locked up. When that has happened I looked at the event viewer. A couple of times cmd.exe has been blocked from running but mostly a file had been copied to c:\ but has been blocked from running. Apart from that nothing else strange has occurred.

Your browser locked up: Could you tell us which browser were you using? Basically in 4 months nothing really important happened except for a file that has been copied to c:\. But in frozen mode nothing should really be allowed to be written to c:\?!

I'm trying to figure whether Deep Freeze as a stand alone application manage to protect you properly, and presumably when you resumed your normal mode you wouldn't have any trace of the above mentioned activities.

Sorry if I'm urging a bit but I'm dead curious as I am myself running ShadowUser but not as a stand alone application and I'm wondering really how many layers do we actually need.

[SpikeyB]

With Deep Freeze in frozen mode, files can be copied to the frozen drive or even the drive can be formatted but those modifications to the frozen drive will be removed upon reboot.

I'm using the software restriction policy to protect myself. I am not using Deep Freeze to protect myself. I am using Deep Freeze to clean up the stuff which got onto my computer (but which couldn't run because of the SRP) when I reboot.

If I didn't use the SRP, then the files which got copied to C:\ would have been able to run and do whatever they wanted. They could have carried on doing what they wanted until I rebooted.

My browser is Maxthon (based on IE).

[Osaban]

Thanks for the feedback, the whole picture is quite clear now.

Sorry, i could not get it, what about firewall etc and other programmes, how u can hide them( u don,t mean to stop them from \real time running as afr as I understand). May be u mean from taskbar properties, u choose for ALWAYS HIDE. So what,s the benefit, if u have to access any of these, u have to go to start>programmes etc.

[nicM]

Ok, sorry I didn't understand ;) . It's on imageshack, I guess something must be preventing third-party sites to show pics in your browser.

Here is it anyway :

Sorry I could not get, can u explain please. In my browser no snapshot there.

[crofttk]

-{ Quote: "Sorry I could not get, can u explain please. In my browser no snapshot there." }-I was talking about the system tray icons. You can hide any or all of them by accessing the Taskbar properties as explained by WSFuser and still access them simply by pushing the little button on the left edge of the system tray.

It looked to me, when you said: -{ Quote: "Sorry, i could not get it, what about firewall etc and other programmes, how u can hide them( u don,t mean to stop them from \real time running as afr as I understand). May be u mean from taskbar properties, u choose for ALWAYS HIDE. So what,s the benefit, if u have to access any of these, u have to go to start>programmes etc." }- as if you were saying "why hide system tray icons if you have to then go into the Start menu to access them ?". I'm simply saying "you don't have to go into the Start menu to access hidden system tray icons".

Nothing to do with viewing a snapshot in your browser.

EDIT: Oooooooh, you mean like you can't see any of the images of system trays we're posting in this thread because your browser doesn't show them ? If that's the case, then my apologies ! Hopefully, my explanation above still clarified things for you somewhat ? ???
