What is this process running ?

Saturday, January 12, 2002 by plastic | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

While cleaning up, I found this in the registry, at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run: a string value, "1A:Stardock TrayMonitor", loading "E:\Program Files\Common Files\stardock\TrayServer.exe". Process was actually running, but no SD products running on my system.

I did test a couple since installing XP, WB, Objectbar and the Logon thing, all uninstalled. So, I'm curious, what does it do ? Mind you, no conspiracy theories in my head, just wondering and also asking the update uninstall procedures. I'm used to leftovers from installs, but not used to having them sticking this much. Once again, no offence, but please update.

ObjectBar installed it. (should have been uninstalled by it as well ).

It's a shared component of ODNT. Its job is to monitor the system tray so that any programs making use of it (DesktopX and ObjectBar for instance) can use it to provide their own trays.

With you pointing to Objectbar, I recall a leftover startmenu item not pointing to anything from that one. Guess uninstall (installed on of the first beta's available I think) messed up, suppose recent versions won't have this issue. Thanks.
