Question quicklaunch program


Hello everyone, I want to make a program to launch itself with Windows STARTUP and as an icon in the quicklaunch part of the Windows toolbar(where the clock and display settings are)...I don't want it to start up with Windows by simply placing a shortcut it the startup folder, is there another way??


what would be the code that I could write so that when the icon in the quicklaunch bar is clicked it would load my form...???

Thank you all ahead of time....I love this forum!@#!@#!##@
-Scott

Both of these capabilities are in the Forum Checker you can download from
the Code Library. It has the ability to install itself in the registry so that it
starts everytime windows starts. And it has the systray control too.

As Thinker said, look in the Code Library. It was posted by The Hand, one of our moderators (and ex-Guru, happy Hand? [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]). You will find the source code there so that you can learn how its done.

I couldn't find a "Forum Checker".

However, I did find code to put something into the task bar:

and this link is where all the example code is available:
