Anybody know of a way to get the Windows taskmanager to open and hang out in the system tray on startup?
add taskmgr.exe to you register under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
If you use the command line cmd /c start /min taskmgr, it will start minimised (only on the tray if this option is set in task manager). You can make the shortcut under the registry key or in the startup folder on the start menu.
Thanks to both of you, and even an emoticon :)
You can add a shortcut to taskmanager in [All] Programs -> Startup.
Yes, and then right-click on the shortcut and tell it to start minimized.Quote:

That's a nicer solution.

Start is a command provided by the shell (cmd.exe), not a seperate program.
