Description:

Primax Electronics Ltd also recognizes the file ico.exe as the MouseSuite 98 Daemon application that is part of the Primax MouseSuite program. The ico.exe file aids the Primax MouseSuite to communicate with the mice and other pointing devices installed in the computer, which are usually the Optical and Wireless Optical Mouse products that are also from Primax. The ico.exe process is executed during the Windows boot up process in order to launch when the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Run is started.

Primax does not exclusively use the file ico.exe since there have been instances where other manufacturers have used the file for whatever purpose they see fit. One company that utilizes the ico.exe file is Sony because the file comes pre-installed in their VAIO line of laptops. The ico.exe process has the ability to control and manage particular enhanced features of the scroll wheels found in the Primax line of mouse and pointing device products.

An example scenario aided by the ico.exe executable is when a user is counting emails in particular Outlook Express folders. The user can have the Outlook Express active with a calculator application on top of it while scrolling down the list in folders in Outlook Express without the calculator moving to the back of the Outlook Express and thus losing focus in the process. With the file ico.exe, the user can still scroll through the Outlook Express folders even in cases where the calculator is the active application and not the Outlook Express program. If users terminate the ico.exe file, this functionality will fail to work.

The Primax MouseSuite, which is the parent program of the ico.exe application, is driver software that offers users various additional and enhanced control features for their Primax mouse. The Primax MouseSuite is included in the package of the Primax line of optical and optical wireless products when users purchase them. It is compatible with the operating systems Windows NT 4.0, XP, ME, 2000 and 98.
