Start from Tray Icon

Post by voidleox »

Hi everyone, first of all, english is not my native language so sorry if you find some mistakes. So I have a simple problem: if I start Everything from the tray icon:

...it starts almost instantly


Now, that requires at least 2 clicks, so I prefer to open the program from the taskbar shortcut:

...in this case, it also opens almost instantly sometimes, but SOME OTHER TIMES, it takes as long as 3 seconds to open the window!



IS THERE A WAY TO CLICK ON THE TASKBAR SHORTCUT BUT OPEN THE TRAY ICON BY DOING SO?

Thanks in advance.

To open Everything with a single click from the tray icon:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the UI tab.
  • Check Single click tray.
  • Click OK.

Sounds like Everything was not running when you clicked the taskbar button.

Please make sure Everything runs at system startup:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab.
  • Check Start Everything on system startup.
  • Click OK.
Ensure Run in background is enabled:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the UI tab.
  • Check Check Run in background.
  • Click OK.

I know about the single tray click, but like I said, I prefer to use the taskbar shortcut because Im used to in my other computer where it always starts instantly.

These are my settings:

As you can see, everything you suggest is marked. Thanks anyway.

Is Everything set to start on system startup?
