Guest Thom Little Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I have a .NET 2.0 C# application that uses System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon to place an Icon in the System Tray (Quick Launch). This application does not have a visible main window. The application runs correctly under Vista Ultimate SP1, Server 2003 SP2, and XP SP2. Under XP SP3 it runs correctly when the application is started manually. However, when the application is started from the Startup folder at boot time it initializes correctly but nothing appears in the System Tray. When I investigate with Task Manager I see that the process is sitting there running. Other applications (like BOINC) that are in the Startup folder do appear in the System Tray after startup. Any ideas on how to correct this "feature" would be greatly appreciated. ....
