Starting minimized in Sys-Tray?

[SwissCharles]

Hi Keymaster

Perhaps I have overlooked it?

But: Is it possible to launch FileVoyager minimized in System Tray?

I start FileVoyager in autostart, so that it’s here when I need it, but I don’t need it right away most of the time…

Thanks!

Hi Charles,

No it’s not foreseen in the app, but there’s an easy way to do it by yourself:

• Go to the Startup folder where you added the shortcut to FileVoyager
  • you can go there by navigating to %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup in your favorite file manager, or a more recent alternative which consist of navigating to Shell:Startup
• Normally, you should have a shortcut to FileVoyager. Right click the shortcut and open Properties
• In the Properties windows, change the value of the Run field to Minimized. Then apply the change.
• From now on, FV will start up with a new Windows session, in minimized.

On my side, I add a to do list item in my backlog to implement this feature out-of-the-box

Hi Keymaster

Sheesh – why didn’t I think of this solution 🤔🤔🤔

Works like a charm, thank you! 👍

P.S: When launching FileVoyager from the Windows Start Menu there is another link to FileVoyger in:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\FileVoyager which has to be adapted in the same way you described as well, if one starts the app from there…

Hi Kemaster

You did send me a link to the wordpress site of yours.

I can not log in to it, given the preset login credentials, which are the same as on this forum..

It says: “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.” ….

Have a nice evening!

Charles
