Absolutely nothing. Not a single thing. No Right click mouse over or left click options. The up arrows next to it dont do anything either.

The icon has been there for sometime now over 6 to 8 months. It does not show in the list of Notification Icons.It moves along with the other Icons. This is what it looks like right now | | My System Specs | | |

Hello copytec
It could just be a ghost/misplaced icon. Try this just to rule that out first - Notification Area Icons - Reset
If it comes back post again.

try this to see if you can find out what the icon is for, click on the littlw arrow for show hidden icons, then click customize
on the page that opens scroll up or down until you find the icon, it should have txt next to it with its title 
im surprised that it doesnt show its title when you mouse over it

Danny hay thanks danny. allthough notification-area-icons-reset did not solve the problem it did help me fix it. The icon and arrows seem to be some sort of toolbar IE right click task bar the select toolbar. Now I closed the toolbar but cannot re add the toolbar or make it reappear. I guess this is the reason that the Icon did not show up in the notification area as it was a toolbar not a Startup Icon. So thanks for all your help. As soon as I unlocked the TaskBar is was apparent that it was a toolbar. I would still love to know what toolbar it was. | | My System Specs | | Can anybody please tell me what this ICON is in my system tray problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 11:50 PM. |  |
