    Very good! Then, my program package is working on XP x64, too. Great!

    Dear @mina7601! Thanks for your detailed report! That's what I need. A second confirmation that my package is working as expected. Very good! Cheers, AstroSkipper @mina7601 When you start ProxHTTPSProxy via PopMenu, is its status window minimized after a short delay?

    I observed the same behaviour. If it is loaded too early, it can't find its working directory. Maybe, I can fix that but presumably, not before the next release. I have to find the cause. But there are other programs in Windows which behave in a similar way. They need some modules or environment conditions not existing in a early phase of Windows startup. @Dave-H When I created the starter program StartProxy.exe, I tried many code variations to get it working, especially due to Microsoft's buggy START command. @cmalex already knew that and gave me an important tip referring to its syntax. Thanks for that once again, @cmalex! In the early phase of Windows startup my starter program can't find the executables in its own directory. With a delay of 10 seconds for example, it has no problems to find them, though. On the other hand a delay is necessary to let Min2Tray start first. The program PopMenu has no influence on my startup program because StartProxy.exe is started separately. I'll investigate this more deeply in the next days. I already have some further ideas, just need only time to test it. Creating such a program package is not as easy as it seems. And you have to spend a lot of time to make it work as it should.

    @NotHereToPlayGames Did you test my program package on Windows XP Professional 32 Bit or 64 Bit?
  5. AstroSkipper
    @XPerceniol I would be interested in that, too! Your issues were very strange as far as I could see.

    I have Windows system restore disabled completely long time ago. It's crap and a resource consumer at its best! Imaging by using a proper software is the very best way to be on the safe side! Or "to be on the sonny side of the street!"

    And one general aspect referring to my package. It is branded by me with the name ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu. The idea was to control the proxy and additional features via this menu, i.e., minimizing and restoring of ProxHTTPSProxy's status window, too. That was the actual idea! And frankly, I do so!

    Spoken for me only, the order of the icons doesn't matter at all. I disable all unnecessary systray icons in their program settings if possible. In my systray, only useful icons are allowed to exist.

    Dear @Dave-H, thanks a lot! That's what I wanted to know. Glad all features and points from my list work as they should. You are great! And many thanks for your check of grammatical and spelling errors! And now a short hint for you and all other testers. You can open the settings of Min2Tray and enable "middle mouse click anywhere in the window" to minimize ProxHTTPSProxy's status window alternatively. I will add this to the preset.
  12. AstroSkipper
    And what about these points? I would like to know what you tested in detail. Minimizing of windows is only one feature. And it seems to work as expected. But no problem, tomorrow is another day! Do all relaxed! But what about @George King? Simply lost!? And @XPerceniol! Everything alright? Did you get it working? Cheers, AstroSkipper

    The configuration utility Configure PopMenu.exe was programmed by me for calling up a second configuration utility Setup Min2Tray.exe to setup the whole package automatically. Settings will be done like adding ProxHTTPSProxy on the StartupMinimized list of Min2Tray, and so on. Of course, you can modify my package, you can create new utilities to integrate TrayIt! in the package and to adjust it. I won't do that! Min2Tray is great and better than TrayIt!. And who said it's just a hotkey? It is much more than that! In simple words: Min2Tray is deeply integrated and interwoven with the complete package. PS: When you execute the main configuration utility Configure PopMenu.exe, you can see in its window the detailed steps which are performed. I commented each step which has to be performed. You can check it!

    @Dave-H, @NotHereToPlayGames! A general positive side-effect of right-clicking on the close button of a window is that it minimizes almost any other program windows. Try it! It works with browsers like NM or with Notepad++, for example.
  15. AstroSkipper
    My release needs Min2Tray. I have integrated it and adjusted it to work with ProxHTTPSProxy properly.
  16. AstroSkipper
    Hi @mina7601! You are still living! And what does the bold text mean?
  17. AstroSkipper
    BTW, Min2Tray offers a lot of features! I don't like TrayIt!. Min2Tray is much better. And there are hotkeys for minimizing and restoring, ALT + M and ALT+ R. It's my preset. Read my documentation carefully! There is a lot of information inside!
  18. AstroSkipper
    You can minimize all windows by a right-click on its close button And a further clicking on the systray icon will restore the window. Please read in the section about Min2Tray! You both overlooked information in my manual.
  19. AstroSkipper
    Wanted! @mina7601 and @George King! What are they doing? Please a short sign of life! Hope your computer is not exploded!

    And, just to provide a little information about the next release, the popmenu will get submenus to clean up the main menu.
  21. AstroSkipper
    I need feedback! else except the indefatigable @Dave-H and the temporarily unlucky @XPerceniol?
  22. AstroSkipper
    I wrote the text about the autostart of ProxHTTPSProxy only for you. I knew you will ask for that. Same as last time! Right?
  23. AstroSkipper
    The document has already been corrected. Thanks a lot! It is really a problem of my visual acuity, too. And yes, you have missed this information: This is a quotation taken from the manual: A general autostart of ProxHTTPSProxy is not a feature of this version, but will be one in the next version although most of us, presumably, this feature don't really need.
  24. AstroSkipper
    @Dave-H What do you think about the documentation? Is it sufficient and traceable? I know now you've really read it. And does the complete package work as described?
  25. AstroSkipper
    And what about @mina7601 and @George King? Are you around here? Any news for me? Any feedback? Any problems?
