BeTrayed 1.0 Beta
Publisher's Description:BeTrayed - BeTrayed! is a small 32 bit command line utility which allows you to easily add a collection of shortcuts to the System Tray (Notification Area in Microsoft speak) It allows you to quickly access frequently used folders, files, URLs and applications - even though they were never designed to be launched from the Tray.For maximum flexibility, BeTrayed! functions in two modes, either single command mode or, more usually, in Batch mode where it adds multiple icons to the Tray, all managed by one instance of BeTrayed! - in both modes, you specify the command to launch and, optionally, the tooltip text to show and an alternative icon. If not specified, the tooptip defaults to the command line and the icon to the default icon contained in the file (or if there isn't one, the one for the associated application) For instance, to add a single icon to the System Tray to launch Calc, you could use: BeTrayed c:\windows\system32\calc.exe,Calculator This would create a new Tray icon (with the default icon from Calc.exe), which would show a tooltip of 'Calculator' In batch mode, the parameter passed to BeTrayed! is actually the name of a text file containing the individual command lines. To use Batch mode with BeTrayed!, simple pass BeTrayed! the name of the controlling text file, prefixed with "/batch:" ie. BeTrayed /batch:Standard.tray BeTrayed! would now look for a file called 'Standard.tray' - which would contain a list of appropriate commands, ie. ;Sample BeTrayed! batch mode control file ; Anything beginning with a semi-colon is a comment! ; Windows Calc using default Calc.exe icon c:\windows\system32\calc.exe,Windows Calculator ; Users shared area via UNC path, using custom icon. \\JBF\Data\Users\Shared,User Shared Area,sa.ico ; Launch URL with default browser (using 3rd icon in browser exe) http://www.mycompanyintranet.com/PhoneDir.html,Contact List,3 From the above 'Standard.tray' file, 3 icons would be added to the Tray.

 What sort of title are you looking for?Perhaps I did not understand what it is your program would do. If so, then it is my fault it did not fulfill my expectations. Author's Response:
Thank-you for taking the time to look at BeTrayed - As you alluded to in your first sentence, I'm afraid you've misunderstood the purpose of BeTrayed. As per the programs description at http://johnnyfoster.com/Downloads_BeTrayed.htm, BeTrayed is meant to allow the user to add icons into the Tray area to launch software that doesn't natively support being minimized to the Tray - nowhere in the description of BeTrayed does it say or imply that it's purpose is to recover missing tray icons. The icons it added to the tray were simply a set of example icons and serve only to demonstrate BeTrayed at work to a new user by placing a few programs in the Tray that would not normally be accessible from there. Regarding uninstallation, it is *perfectly normal* for any piece of software not to be *completely and totally* removed during an uninstallation. This is usually the result of a file that's either been created or updated in the programs directories after the installation. In summary, when reviewing a piece of software at least take a little time to read what the software is actually meant to do, prior to passing ill-informed and inaccurate judgement. The fact that you expected it to do something it was never designed to do is a failing of YOU, not the software; being a reviewer you of all people should understand the importance of accuracy... regards, Johnny

Does the trickWhile it took some trial and error to configure, this little app did the trick for me. I was able to move several seldom-used applications to the tray. I would have preferred a gui to set up the applications, though. Social bookmarks: RSS:
