Vic Van Vroom Intel Integrated Display Adapter component -- System Tray Applet facilitating display adjustments
Shows a tray icon of your intel graphics driver
Intel Graphics Driver
Has to do with an Intel Display Adapter, harmless
Morons just remove it, it is unecessary.
Obsidian Eternus Intel Graphics Tray process. Most Intel motherboards with integrated video made after 1999 have this program as part of its "driver installation" package. This is what enables simple resolution changes (right click Desktop Graphics Modes 1280x1024 @ 32bpp - 70 hz etc) The genuine version of this file is completely harmless, but it's not necessary for video card function with an Intel motherboard, as I stated earlier.

Kisara Intel Graphics Tray. It's perfectly fine.
Mystique its more annoying than dangerous, on EVERY start-up it causes a window saying could not open igfxtray when i never tried to open it in the 1st place
Matt On windows startup this exe file tries regularly to connect to crl.microsoft.com on port 80. Not sure what it's sending
It is a harmless process..displays an icon in the Icon Tray for the graphics device
WELL SPOKEN IT PERSON Not dangerous. Just another process to take up more resources. igfxtray.exe is a process which allows you to access the Intel Graphics configuration and diagnostic application for the Intel 810 series graphics chipset. This program is a non-essential system process, and is installed for ease of use via the desktop tray.  See also: Link
zafar Not harmless it is removable without any problems
Tyler Menezes Used for Intel display. Not dangerous. No need to remove it.
daKing Spygate Firewall notified me of 'Attempted Hijacking' by ifxftray.exe in WINNT System32. Upon checking logs I noticed it continually trying to connect to an IP I then traced to The Netherlands (I'm in US). I blocked this IP range on my firewall and the following the day it began reporting to a different IP. Blocked that one and now it is trying to connect even to a different one. Tried to delete it - coulnd't. Started in Safe Mode, deleted the file, then used regedt32 to delete all associated registries for this file.
Debbie I just got a new computer with Windows Vista and periodically my screen goes black and then in the bottom of my start up task bar it says that it has recovered from a critical error. I don't know what igfx is but it's annoying!
