Minimize to the tray on startup

Minimize to tray at startup

I'm looking for a way to autorun GPU-Z minimized on Windows 7 x64. If I stick a shortcut in the start-up folder and change the properties to "run minimized" it doesn't minimize to the tray but instead to the taskbar. So I have to click on the taskbar and press on minimize every time I reboot my system. This is a little bit annoying if you reboot often.

Thank you for your time!

error and freeze

Sorry for bumping this, but this app also freezes my desktop for almost 30 seconds and I receive the following error quite often:

---------------------------
GPU-Z
---------------------------
Failed to create tray icon
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

You could give TrayIt! a try.Should accomplish what you want.

on startup? or normal start? using latest gpuz? any desktop extension apps or similar ?

Thanks but GPU-Z already has the ability to minimize to the tray and TrayIt! doesn't seem to work under Windows 7 x64. Anyways this won't solve the issues which I mentioned earlier; the desktop/taskbar freeze and the occasional error message on startup.

Yep on startup. It doesn't matter if I use the built-in startup option or if I manually add a shortcut to the startup folder. I'm using the latest version (0.4.8) and I don't use any desktop extension. Running it on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Let me know if you need a log file or something like that. I would really like to see this fixed.

does your system take REALLY long to boot ? ie does the systray appear only 30+ seconds after your desktop appears?

 

[Anthr4X]

Yes it does, but this of course only happens when I enable the autorun of GPU-Z. You're not implying that this is normal behaviour, right?

I noticed this thread just now, but I have similar problem with GPU-Z.
On startup it shows it's loading picture very long time, and usually after that comes above mentioned error about tray icon. GPU-Z loading picture appears right after my desktop shows. Sometimes it freezes my desktop too, then nothing else is loading on startup (usual Viewpower monitor system for example). I have this problem with all latest GPU-Z builds. Reinstalled Windows and still problem remains. I have GPU-Z and Viewpower monitor system in my startup.
Startup problem looks like this:

This sounds exactly like mine problem. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one..
