Is there a tool to activate the window for running processes, or to access
their context menu options, when the system tray icon for that program has
been hidden?
Just for example, to reduce system tray clutter, I checked the "Hide System
Tray" box in OE-Quotefix. The process is running, but I can't access any of
its functions. I just ran the the executable file and access the
OE-Quotefix window that way. I was concerned that I might be creating a
second instance of OE-Quotefix, but that didn't happen.
I looked in Process Explorer to see if there was a way to bring up the
OE-Quotefix window from within PE, but there isn't. Is there a process
manager that does have this capability?
I have discovered that there is another way to hide systray icons while
keeping them accessible ... i.e. Taskbar Properties dialog tab, check Hide
Inactive Box, click Customize button, set each systray icon to "Hide when
Inactive", "Always Show", or "Always Hide" as appropriate. Icons and
windows for processes hidden in this way can be accessed simply by clicking
the "Show hidden icons" button on the systray. I'm not talking about these
hidden icons, I'm talking about processes where the systray icon has been
hidden in the program interface itself.
