The stray.exe file is an executable process implemented with the modular DLL components, other executable program files, system drivers and associated resources that are required by the SmartStamp software, which is a Windows program classified as a postage stamp printing application that allows users to develop and print postage stamps for their businesses. The stray.exe process is integrated into the installer distribution packages of the SmartStamp software, which was developed by Royal Mail. This means the stray.exe process is implemented into the system upon the successful installation of the SmartStamp software. The stray.exe process is associated with the functions of the SmartStamp program's Windows System Tray icons and options. This means the stray.exe process is activated by the SmartStamp software whenever its Windows System Tray features need to be loaded and implemented into the Windows system.
