The Systray (Tray icons) is a window, as most Windows elements. What really the Winsec add-in does, when you hide the “Tray icons” is to destroy this window. When trying to resize or move the taskbar, Windows recreate the Systray window, so it becomes visible again. [Top] • Why after I rebuild the icons cache in the Foldicons add-in, my Explorer icons are in a mess? This is usual if you use this function for some times. Restart Windows and all the icons will be restored. [Top] • Why I get a “Special folder” message when I try to change the icon for my History folder, in Foldicons? Foldicons is designed to customize the icon for every folder in Explorer, but not the “Special” ones. The History folder is a special folder, so its icon can not be customized with the Foldicons add-in. You can customize the icon for all the Windows’ special folders with Total Control in the “Icons” panel.
