    Usually, software gets a major version increase when... Ummm... NEW FEATURES are added.

    I configured this thing to hide certain tray icons. It does so at first, but if Explorer crashes, it doesn't rehide those icons.

    The PeerGuardian tray icon gets restored, but it also becomes nonfunctional; it cannot be used to show the PeerGuardian window, or actually, used at all.

    This software does something really screwy with my "Local Area Connection" tray icon--instead of showing the proper icon, it continually and dynamically replaces it with a random icon from some other application that is running. I mean that exactly as written--it will (for example) use my anti-virus utility's icon, then switch it to the KeePass Password Safe icon, and so on.

    In short, buggy crapware to be avoided.

    Nice features, but few of them actually WORK. Very buggy. Good luck getting the author to reply to you. I tried MULTIPLE times and was soundly ignored.

    As I said below, this is one of the few EXTREMELY useful utilities installed on my pc. This is one I use daily.

    The new options dialog is beautiful. I only wish they would fix the crash on WinXP MCE SP2 when exiting the application. But, since I dont exit PS Tray often enough, its not a huge bug, so...5/5

    Great tool to have! But I wish it remembered my minimized windows.

    I installed this yesterday morning, 12 hours later, I purchased it. I was using SysTrayX but this blows it and every other tray manager out of the water. Top notch program. If only all apps were as fun to use as this
