TrayIconBuster is a utility that removes phantom icons from the Icon Tray.

A lot of programs install a NotifyIcon in the Icon Tray. Your system probably shows icons for Volume Control, Task Manager, Network Connections and many more. When a process installs a NotifyIcon and then exits without disposing of it, the icon remains present until you move the mouse pointer over it, making it suddenly disappear. A lot of such phantom icons may pile up when developing a new application that installs a NotifyIcon but exits due to a fatal exception or a debug session being stopped in the middle. This utility will take care of Tray Icon clean-up automatically.
