Systray icon settings under Windows 7
-
Under Windows 7, the design of the tray notification area is different from Windows Vista and XP. It provides the settings of "
Show icon and notification", "Hide icon and notification", and "Only show notification" for each icon. Except the system built-in icons set as "Show icon and notification", all the other icons are set as "Only show notification" by default. If a systray application is intended to launch with the property "Show icon and notification" programmatically, how to do that? Is it done by modifying some registry key? Or done by adding some flags in the source code? Thanks!Maxwell Chen

There have been changes to the notification area that give the user much more control over what icons appear on the taskbar. All notification icons are now hidden by default and that visibility cannot be programmatically controlled. Only the user is allowed to choose which notification icons appear on the taskbar.
That makes sense to me...
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p
