taskbar icons

How do I put an shortcut on the windows taskbar?

If you mean on the lower left corner next to the start button, then just drag it to there. That's it!!!

I mean on the lower right corner. And I've tried dragging it.

program have to be written with systray support or you have to have a program that can launch another program to the tray, to my knowledge there is no easy way to do it.

Oh and just so you know that is called the system tray.

 

[Dan DeVille]

Why do you want it there anyway?

put it in your startup folder or go to msconfig and enable the entry.

Sorry for not replying for so long. I was without internet access.

How do I use msconfig to create the system tray icon? I tried putting it in my startup folder to no effect.

If I need a special application to create the icon where can I find a free (and LEGAL) program that will do that.

As for why I need it: I have several applications that manage other applications. It's a pain to have to move windows around to find them on the desktop and I'm so loaded with software that using the start menu is not much easier.

Usually for most programs, when you install them, they add an entry to the startup in msconfig. Not all programs thou. What programs do you need to run? Is there an option to send it to the taskbar?

The programs are autoit and procexp. Neither have an entry in msconfig.
