I have few questions about windows programming. 1) How can I get my program to start when windows starts? 2) How can I get my applicatiion to tray? 3) How about the tray icon menu?

  1. I believe you need to put your program executable in the C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs directory

  2. You need to learn how to use the registry

  3. Same deal- I''m sure the taskbar is controlled through the registry...

For 1), there are several ways:

- Put a link into Start\Programs\Autostart
- Create an entry in (HKLM|HKCU)\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
