The clonecdtray.exe process is an executable file that is used as a program launcher for the Clone CD Tray Bar, which is bundled with the Clone CD Software. The application is developed by Elaborate Bytes Inc., and may be used for copying various media, regardless of any copy protection system. The program allows users to duplicate Multimedia Audio CDs, Personal Computer Game CDs, Audio CDs, Data CDs, and Protected CD Games. If the clonecdtray.exe file is removed, the CloneCD program may still be used, but users will not be able to access the system tray icon, which is used to modify settings and operate other features of the CloneCD Application. The tray icon also detects and alerts the user when a CD is inserted into the CD-ROM Drive. Production and downloading of the Clone CD Software has been discontinued, and a new version, called the CloneDVD is available through the Elaborate Bytes website. However, some users report that when the CloneCD application is active, certain applications and games may not work.
