I've learned over the years that it really doesn't pay to be a smart ass because then you have to answer the question. This if from the website:
Component Tray is an enhancement to Object Desktop to provide you with an increased level of integration of the various components.
Component Tray currently includes:
Single-click access to installed components
A listing of the last six IconPackager packages and WindowBlinds skins used (with the ability to switch to one of them without having to open the configuration for the app in question)
Object Desktop Network component update checking (notifies you if there are updated components on the OD servers)
One location to manage what Object Desktop components load on Windows startup
Links to download sites and discussion forums for Object Desktop

"Citizen CPT McNair",

Are you from the PRN ("People's Republican Navy" - from the Honor Harrington series by David Webber)?

Cheers,

TrayMonitor/TrayServer is the module that allows DesktopX and ObjectBar to use Systray objects. It needs to run at startup in order to catch all the systray icons, so if you're using a skin in either of those programs that has a systray object you'll need to leave it in the startup.
