I've attached a screenshot of a software, located on the 5th from the right or 3rd from the left. It's the green thing with a lock

I don't know what it is I haven't installed it. I ran the mouse over it, but it doesn't show the name.

Please help

that's intel graphics accelerator, your inbuilt intel graphics driver, probably the 915/945G...

It's the green thing with a lock

this contradicts the description you mentioned previously, as intel icon is the blue one like a monitor, it's not green and it doesn't have any lock..

Yes, instead of cropping all of the taskbar icons you could have just cropped that particular icon to avoid confusion...

Thanks for the help :)
Man, you could've clicked that icon to open the "Intel GMA driver window", instead of cropping and asking here. :|

Seriously, hover on the icon or click on it. Saves everyone's time.
