The Formativ icon in the Windows taskbar tray is used to:
indicate that applet recording is under way (Formativ Creator, Formativ Studio);
terminate an executing applet.
It can be removed by deleting the file:
formativ.exe
in the Formativ installation directory, eg:
C:Program FilesAdvansysFormativ
We do not expect that there would be any ill effects from deleting this file. However, Advansys cannot guarantee that this will be true for all future releases of Formativ.
