    For Status bar icons you list TRAYICONS 1/0, but in my copy of AutocAD 2009 this sysvar toggles the display of tray icons only (these are the warning icons, such as TrustedDWG).

    You are, Sir, entirely correct. Thank you for pointing that out. I have updated the table. I have ignored the drawing status bar for simplicity (and because I think it’s pointless).
