ProcessTamer Tray Icon does not display in Vista

<< < (2/2)

mouser:
thanks iycgtptyarvg -- i think i may just add code to my programs to force a delete/add of the icons 60 seconds or so after startup, good idea.

i wonder if when this phenomena happens where the icon is not shown (either at startup or on explorer crash), whether it's possible to DETECT this condition.  that would be ideal -- then you wouldn't actually have to flash the icon if it wasn't needed.

while it's hard to reproduce the startup with windows rare case where icon doesn't show -- it's easy to reproduce the explorer crash situation.  any idea how one would check for this scenario and check whether your icon became missing from the tray after an explorer crash?

iycgtptyarvg:
Actually, I don't think there is a good way to do this. If you query your tray icon, you will get the answer that it is being shown (while it isn't). The tray icon won't 'flash' as you say.
No one will notice anything accept that your icon will move to the front. Once it's the first icon, it will stay there.

Regarding the crashing explorer, I think the only way to do that is to check Window's Event viewer. To be honest, I would call this overkill for such a small problem. Simply reinstituting the icon is quick, safe and easy.
