[QUOTE="hal2001, post: 75762, member: 24383"] [b]Use mptray to start any program with the green button[/b] I solved this problem with the following workaround. I made an executable called MPPal.exe wich sets a few settings and starts MediaPortal and copied this to the default MediaPortal directory. (using autoit) Then I created a directory C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MPTray In this directory I copied mptray.exe, mphook.dll (only thing important is that it is not the default dir where MediaPortal.exe is) Then I made a second script using autoit that starts my first application. example: #NoTrayIcon Run("C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MPPal.exe", "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal") Exit Now comes the dirty part: Convert this last script to executable with the same name as the default MediaPortal. Copy this in the new directory where you copied mptray. C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MPTray\MediaPortal.exe DO NOT COPY THIS TO THE DEFAULT MEDIAPORTAL DIR! :D Then I changed the startup location of the mptray.exe in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\MediaPortal Shell modify the directory to "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MPTray\mptray.exe" You can also use the register and unregister functions of mptray. Reboot and youre done. [/QUOTE]
