I've just quit !NewIcons via the Task display window. So far there
are no adverse effects and the icons loaded from its !Sprites file are
still there on the iconbar.
I've also just inserted a USB stick and the icon has come up as per
normal. So presumably it isn't involved in detecting that.
The version I have is dated 12 April 2011. SP3 does not contain a
later version. I guess it's up to RComp to issue an update to stop it
grabbing extra memory or to make it quit after running.
