Taskbar icon

You can configure Folder Guard to display a small icon in the Windows taskbar notification area (next to the system clock), that would serve as a visual indicator of the status of the protection, and/or to give yet another way to quickly run Folder Guard, or to toggle the protection:

To set up the taskbar icon, run Folder Guard, choose the File - Settings command from its menu, select the Taskbar icon page, and choose the desired options offered there. You can select whether to display the icon or not, to hide the icon if the protection is in effect or make the icon image flash if the protection is disabled, select whether to display the full-color or the low-color image. Please see the description of the Taskbar icon dialog box for more information about the available options.

Note that in order for the taskbar icon to appear after you reboot Windows, you must check the Enable protection at Windows startup option. If this option is not checked, then neither the protection, nor the taskbar icon will be active after you restart Windows.
