External information from Paul Collins:

• "Iomega Drive Icons" can run at start up. Displays Iomega icons in Explorer/My Computer, ejects Zip disks on shutdown and displays a special delete confirmation box when deleting files on an Iomega drive. Available via Start -> Programs. If you disable it remember to eject disks first before powering the drive down - hence the "U" recommendation. Note - FreeCell may not run with ImgIcon running

On XP when shutting system down this process could not be terminated cleanly (have seen it more than once). It had to be killed. Even after killing it my system refused to shut down.

Associated with Iomega ZIP drives. Displays the correct icon for make and model of ZIP drive. Non critical process which can be disabled if desired.

imgicon.exe is a process which is installed alongside Iomega Zip Drives. The process will display icons which correspond to the individual zip drive's make and model allowing easy indentification. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference.
