How to get a Program to show in SysTray instead of on the Running App Bar.
-
Hi, I've just (nearly) completed a module that provides usefull services to my Suite of programs. It spends most of it's time waiting on a pipe for a message. It is written as a Dlg based MFC App, but it never gets as far as showing the Dialog. All relevant Code is called in CWinApp::InitApp() It has no output, All output is sent back to the Client over a Pipe, only if things realy screw up, does it write output to an Event file. What do I do to have this app started as part of the system startup, and what do I do to start this Not as a Running App, but as something that sits in the sys tray. My Target Environment is Windows XP. Vista Restrictions are not an issue here. Regards, :) :)

You can place a shortcut in the Start Menu, in Programs->Startup.

I don't think it's so. AFAIK being in the system tray has nothing to do with how the process is started. Skype for example goes to the tray even if it's started by double-clicking it's icon. So does Vmware and Process Explorer. Anyway, try: this article[^]
