Thread: auto-startup with GUI in tray

    auto-startup with GUI in tray

    Is there any way of making the client start when you log on til Windows minimized in tray?

    The autostart feature hides the client completely and if I place SB in the "Start" group in Start menu > Programs it only opens the window and I have to get it going.

    Can't I make it start up and running in tray automatically somehow?

    Make sure you've checked the 'Auto-start on Windows boot' in the config window.
    This should make the client run minimized in system tray.

    That's what the service installer is for. Read the "ReadMeNT.txt" file in the SB directory. In particular, look for the "-k" option about 2/3 of the way down.

    Could anyone point me to info on how to create my own service that starts up with Windows? Something like Scheduled Task?

    I want the i865 Tweaker from www.cpuid.com to start after logging on.

    What you want is the srvany program from the NT(or later) Service Kit. it will work with NT, 2000, 2003, and XP.
