Abstract
A method of implementing a plurality of system tray areas is disclosed, wherein each system tray area is defined with a particular size and used for displaying a plurality of registered icons to enable a user to select one icon to execute a corresponding system tray function, a first system tray area having a size that is larger than the size of a second system tray area. The method includes: initiating installation of an operating system in a computer system, wherein the computer system has a shell program, the shell program being used for interpreting and executing a command given from a user of the operating system; calling the shell program; and executing the shell program to enable a display of the computer system to display at least two system tray areas.
