Tray Icon Overview

The Copernic Desktop Search tray icon () is located in the Windows system tray. It allows the software to detect new and modified files constantly, including new emails received or sent, in order to index or re-index them on-the-fly depending of the case. The software also monitors CPU activity constantly in order to throttle back as necessary. Note that the tray icon is different when an index updating is in course.

You can double-click the icon to open the program's main window. You can also right-click it to display the shortcut menu.

The right-click menu features these useful commands:

• Open Copernic Desktop Search: Opens the program's main window.
• Indexing Status: Opens the Indexing Status window.
• Pause Indexing: Pauses the indexing process. If indexing is manually paused by the user, it has to be restarted manually.
• Update Index: Updates the entire index or specific topics based on your selection (Entire Index, Emails, Files, Music, Pictures, Videos, Contacts, Favorites, History).
• Help: Displays the Copernic Desktop Search help topics.
• About: Displays information about Copernic Desktop Search version and copyrights.
• Exit: Closes the software.
