Developer’s Description

Remove unwanted entries in your System Tray.
System Tray Refresh can refresh the system tray area removing "hanging" or "dead" icons that were not removed on exit or crash of some programs. It has been known for a long time as some kind of a system bug, where even the latest versions of Windows do not correct this issue automatically. This formless app comes as a single EXE without installer and can be run either directly or in a batch file as well as by a scheduler or an event handler as needed. It runs silently and exits automatically in a flash of a second and can be run from any media.
