CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This application conveniently provides you with a neat and tidy system tray, though some of its features are faulty. PS Tray Factory helps to alleviate all of those icons and opened application tabs in your system tray by letting you assign hot keys or mouse-click actions to restore them.

The program's busy interface lets you assign so many hot keys that it can become a bit confusing. You can access the application with a hot key, minimize and restore applications with another, and sort icons just to name a few. While PS Tray Factory initially does hide every icon and open application, when we attempt to minimize the application, it returns to the system tray. Another complaint we have is the application minimizer surprisingly hid the whole system tray.

Fortunately, you can restore it using yet another hot-key combo. Although it takes some getting used to, this 20-day trial utility offers sufficient aid for those plagued by a crowded system tray.
