There is a problem with wanting tray support installed for only one user. The reason for putting pprotray.exe in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon \userinit, is to make sure pprotray.exe starts before any programs which create a tray icon. The early start is very important, otherwise it would be OK to just put pprotray.exe in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or even in ...\Start Menu\...\Startup The problem is that the places where you can autostart something "for the current user only" are all launched *after* all the autostart things "for all users" have been launched. I guess the reason why a very early start is so important is this: it is difficult (impossible?) for programs like pprotray to get a current list from the OS of the icons in the tray. It can see them appearing and disappearing but cannot get a list. Instead pprotray keeps its own list by watching for tray icons appearing and disappearing. Therefore, if pprotray starts late, it does not see any of the tray icons of early startup apps being created. So you can easily install pprotray for the current user only, if you wish, just by putting it in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or even in ...\Username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup but several tray icons will be missing from the list which pprotray knows about. Most PCs have some tray icons for all users, started by services or by HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, such as a firewall or display driver software or antivirus monitor. Userinit is the best trick for starting pprotray before all of them. Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
