Well then what the heck does systray.exe come from? Is it not "system tray"? If not, then what? And if so, then what does the tray refer to?

According to the article, systray.exe puts some icons into the notification area. Somewhat akin to calling a bus stop Lee because Lee uses that bus stop?

I think you missed the point. Why isn't the process called noticons.exe then? Why is it called systray.exe? What does the "systray" refer to?
