What's in your System Tray?

[Canadiens1131]

Gaim - Instant messenger for AIM/MSN/Yahoo
uTorrent - Great BitTorrent client
Last.fm - Tracks music and occasionally works
Skype - Free internet tellingbone
Cirtus Alarm Clock - Free PC alarm clock with programmable crap
LAN thingie - Rocks the LAN
Sound - I like the sound of it
Safely remove hardware - I like my hardware, and thus do not wish to remove it
Daemon tools - Uh, I like this

Mac users, you can post, uh, whatever's in your 'Apple Bubble', 'Aqua Intake', 'Program Sphere', or whatever they call the shiny, reflective place where your shit goes.

I've never heard of Gaim.. is it like Trillian?

 

[Canadiens1131]

Oh man, 2 sounds. Your sound must be twice as loud as mine

 

[Vincent Vega]

Thunderbird - Mailprogram like Outlook
µtorrent - the same great torrent client
trilian - same as gaim
winamp - should rather be called U2amp
setpoint software - for my Logitech mouse
AntiVir - free anti virus tool
deamon tools - for images
safely remove hardware - it's just there
refreshlock - so WinXP stays at 85 hertz, but no longer important since I now have a TFT

Yeah Trillian. It's a bit gawkier but I like the features a lot and it can be made very barebones.

I should change the thread title to 'How much bloatware do you have in your system tray?"

doesn't say what it is

That means it could be Pure Evil.

 

[GibsonGirl]

You know what? I'm in this part of the forum right now because I clicked on the moved link. But to be completely honest, without looking at the links at the top of the page, I wouldn't know where the hell I was.

A dark and lonely place, GG, where few people rome. You need to take the law into your own hands in the Technik to survive. Keep your head low and watch out for the sand creatures

LAN - No connection, folks.
Quicktime - WTF, why is that open?
Sound - I have no more lame jokes to add.

Quicktime - WTF, why is that open?\

Right-click > QuickTime preferences > Advanced tab > uncheck 'Install QuickTime icon in the system tray'

 

[Liesje]

This is my work one:

GroupWise 7.0 (e-mail and scheduling), PrintKey, Webroot Spysweeper, Volume, Remote Management, iPrint, Symantec AV, Novell Desktop Management, Novell NetWare Client. All those things are standard for our WinXP Pro image.


My home laptop died, but it had volume, Symantec AV, and my wireless connection. I can't stand programs in the systray when they're not being used.

Thanks a lot, Sicy.

Easter Egg Hunts are fun!
