Belongs to WinUtilities. Quick launch icon added to SysTray. Version 7 is 2,359,296 bytes.
  SED   (further information)
Sofern das nützliche Programm "WinUtilities" installiert wurde, fungiert WO.EXE als Quick-Launcher, dessen Icon im System Tray erscheint. Wird nach Installation/Aufruf von WinUtilities im Startup unter HKLM/Run eingetragen, verbraucht jedoch ungenutzt keine CPU-Ressourcen.
