 Andrew Lee: I have been using PowerMenu to hide apps to the system tray, but every time Explorer crashes, all the icons disappear. Iconize appear to have solve this problem for me. [2007-02-19 03:48]

 paul: With regards to "rebuilding icons" when windows explorer crashes - how does iconize know what icons to "rebuild". Does it keep track of things in a config file because I don't see registry settings or an ini file in the app directory. [2007-02-20 13:24]

 Andrew Lee: Everything should still be in memory. Remember, it's Explorer that crashed, not Iconize. :) [2007-02-20 16:32]

 Buggah: For me it doesn't work. Test it yourself -- Run Iconize and the end task explorer.exe. Only a few of tray icons come back when explorer restarts. Anyone else encountered such behaviour? [2008-01-30 14:06]

 dmg: Iconize does not have to be installed to access the exe. It can be extracted using 7Zip. [2010-04-10 08:32]

For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
