# NotifyIcon Component (Windows Forms)
The Windows Forms `NotifyIcon` component displays icons in the status notification area of the taskbar for processes that run in the background and would not otherwise have user interfaces. An example would be a virus protection program that can be accessed by clicking an icon in the status notification area of the taskbar.
