NvCpl.dll = NVIDIA Display Properties Extension = NvCplDaemon.
NvCplDaemon
System Tray icon used to change display settings, change the clock rate and
memory speed for nVidia based graphics cards. This is unnecessary since you
can easily configure these settings the way you want them in the Display
Properties and not have to mess with them again. Also disable the "NVIDIA
Driver Helper Service" if enabled as it can cause this entry to be
re-enabled on re-boot (note that this service can also cause extreme
shutdown delays if enabled - see
