Trying to make an application in the system tray show up in the active

Hi, here's a starter for 10...

You'd have to extend this and add more to 'unhide' the particular icon:

windows 10 - Hide some system tray icons uncollapsed - Super User

The relevant registry key is (as you probably know)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify

- but as you will see that takes some interpretation.

Thank you for your reply. Hence the need to use a script as in the link I posted.
The first apparently produces a list of the processes in order.. so you would then need to pick out the one of interest and act accordingly.


You can create an exe file from an AHK script in 1 click..

Manipulating the Settings GUI directly isn't feasible, unless you know the icon in question is always the nth one.

It's a very handy tool- I'm no expert, but you can use it to:
- manipulate existing windows in quite complicated ways
- modify/create hotkeys
- create your own programs
- create small scripts

Convenient, in that that you can write one or two lines and test it straight away, plus compile the script.

I found a more complete example that manipulates tray icons, which may give you enough to work with:

Find say
HideShowTrayIcon("OneDrive.exe")

on that page and read the posts around there.
