Are you running any P2P software?  DHCP handles IP addresses (a sevice on a client will pick up a DHCP assigned IP address form a DHCP server) and TFTP is Trivial File Transfer Protocol.  Looks like you have some dort of software installed.  I also run Win 7 Ultimate and I do not have that icon, nor have I ever seen it.  You can go to the task manager, and on the processes tab you can find the process using it and find out where the program resides.
