System Tray icon Counts....
« on: February 23, 2009, 10:07:46 PM »
With many background tasks come system tray icons.

How many icons have you all got in your system tray and what are they?

For myself- I only have three. Volume Control, TaskSwitchProXP, and MSN messenger.Sometimes I quit messenger and thus have only two.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

I have 8 on startup, I've got Fahmon, Rivatuner, Rivatuner showing my graphics card temperature, my Creative volume panel, safely remove hardware, Windows volume icon, and the network icon.  Pidgin is often there too, as it's usually open.
I could remove some of them, but for little or no gain.

    I just realized I lied. Normally I have four, but at the time I looked I had my USB hub plugged into my laptop rather then my desktop. So I always have the remove hardware icon as well.

    Pah, everybody else is taking pictures:

    Desktop(XP):




    Laptop (Vista)

    More Food

    When you choose "More food" it brings up a menu of gourmet meal choices which are then replicated in your nearby replication machine.

    I remember when I first got my replication machine. just load in the raw material, (pretty much anything) and enter what you want, and bam, the machine replicates it.

    for example, I turned 5 old 386 motherboards into an geForce 8600XT. The machine really pays for itself after a week or two. Especially since if you load up enough raw material you can replicate another replication machine.  ;D

      Mines broken. there was something stuck on the "+ *censored*" button...

      needless to say by the time I removed the batteries it was too late. So now we need to roll a girney around wherever we go. People tend to stare.
