It really does not matter if it's the new Windows 10 or one of Microsoft's older Windows desktop and / or server operating systems.

User bug fix message!
Today, after installing the latest version of DesktopOK, all of our family notebooks have a new icon in the bottom right corner of the systray that says "ScreenShotOK" when you hover over it. After restarting the notebook, this icon has disappeared again.
Given the name and the fact that DesktopOK was previously reinstalled, I suspect that this icon has something to do with DesktopOK.
It would be nice to get a short message on the subject. Thank you in advance and thank you very much for the useful program and your program maintenance.
