Toshiba Places Icon Utility

Toshiba Places Icon Utility is an application designed with the purpose of providing notifications for various updates, news and product releases. With it you are able to receive real-time alerts for anything new related to music, movies, videos, software, games and books that is recommended by Toshiba.

After you quickly install the application going through the classic Wizard procedure, it should add a series of icons on your desktop for each of the previously mentioned categories. As long as the application and the service is active, Toshiba Places Icon Utility notifies you of any updates by displaying a number which is associated with the available news.

When an update appears, you can left-click the icon to show the notification in a pup-up window, or double-click it to open your browser and go to the appropriate webpage for the article. A right-click on any of the icons allows you to quickly hide it or disable future updates.

Using Toshiba Places Icon Utility you won’t have to deal with any kind of settings or configuration process that might take up time or kill brain cells. All that you can do is open the settings window and choose which feed icons you want to hide or unhide.

That’s all there is to personalizing this application’s use and while you’re not using it, it silently resides in the background, checking up on things and providing the notifications.

On an ending note, Toshiba Places Icon Utility is by all means a really good tool to have around if you want to constantly be made aware of any new songs, apps or games.
