Windows Process Description:

The gbtray.exe process, usually called 'GoBack Tray Icon', is associated with the GoBack software by Roxio, Inc. Upon installation of the GoBack software, the gbtray.exe process automatically creates a shortcut on the system tray, providing the user an easy access to the said program.

The GoBack software is a utility that enables the recovery of previous system settings in case unexpected errors corrupt the system. It allows the user to 'go back' to any particular time in the past when the system was working perfectly and save that setting, thereby preventing serious damage to the system.

By creating an icon in the system tray, the process gbtray.exe allows the user to access the features of the GoBack System Restoration software conveniently. This way, the user may immediately avail of the features that GoBack software provides.

The gbtray.exe process is not a critical system process. However, recommendation against the termination of the gbtray.exe process is given since removal of it may adversely affect other relevant processes, or even cause the entire software's malfunction.

It is advisable to run the process gbtray.exe automatically on boot-up especially if the user often utilizes GoBack. The user may do this by entering the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/User Shell Folders in the system registry.

The latest known version of the gbtray.exe process is v. 3.21.106, which has a file size of 565248 bytes. The gbtray.exe process and the program using it efficiently works on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows 2003 though not recommended for use on Windows ME and XP since both already have a similar built-in facility called 'System Restore'. The file gbtray.exe is a Verisign signed file and is considered safe and trustworthy. It is related to the process gbpoll.exe.

The process gbtray.exe and other relevant processes associated with GoBack must be temporarily disabled when the user defragments or runs scandisk over the system since it usually impedes the completion of the said tasks.
