This application is a simple loader for Tor (An anonymous Internet communication system), if you don't have Tor or don't know what is Tor then checkout it out first.

What is Tor Tray;

Tor Tray is a simple application (C++) which enables you to load TOR in the tray and see messages, start / stop it easily. This is a very simple, quick and dirty work but it looks nice in tray and works. It developed 01.01.2005, I just have time to release / share it.

Uses about 2 - 2,5 MB in memory and 35 KB footprint.

Is there any other good GUI for Windows?

As far as I know simply No, But there is a good GUI competition is running on TOR official website. I developed this application before this competition just for fun, and I was no idea about Control Protocol of Tor, so this app simply use Tor console output for some dummy messages.
