"Intel graphics system tray icon that gets installed with the drivers for onboard VGA cards based on the Intel 81x graphics chip set. Double-clicking the icon allows you to quickly change the display resolution, save your current display scheme, or configure your onboard graphics card.

But I did see cases where hkcmd can be used as a malware component, so I'd suggest downloading
HijackThis, a malware analysis and removal tool. Create a directory (folder) in the root level of your C: drive named HJT. Unzip HijackThis.zip into the newly created directory.
After installing HijackThis.exe in the directory C:\HJT, run Hijackthis, click on the 'scan' button and then 'save log' button. Copy and paste the contents of the text file you saved in a new message in the
Virus Information and Removal board for review by the trained volunteers. Be sure to post the log in a new message, and explain why you'd like the log reviewed. DON'T ATTEMPT TO FIX ANYTHING REPORTED BY HIJACKTHIS without expert advice!
You can try this trick if you're not sure about those files. In C:\Windows\system32, create a new folder called 'questionable' and cut/ paste the two files you mentioned into that new folder. If you later run into problems, just copy/paste them back to C:\Windows\system32. Just an idea. This should see if they are really needed.

Jim,
Thanks very much for your helpful info. I suppose, in the long run, it is best to leave the files intact.
Regards,
Bill D.
