I tested tray app build 1468 linked to in the 1468 release announcement as well as the 1470 build on Windows 7 x64, and build 1470 on Windows 8.1 x64. Both builds performed the expected action when using the tray app to open Freenet. Preferences > Browser > Internet Explorer opened IE in privacy mode. Preferences > Browser > Firefox and Auto opened Firefox in incognito mode.
Is the windows tray automatically updated when new releases are installed over Freenet, or is it a manual update? If it's a manual update, would it help to include the build number in the preferences screen if anyone has an issue? Does it ever check for updates and notify the user? Can the download links be changed to include the build number as part of the file name, and not the extension? Currently they download as FreenetTray.exe.build01470 which requires the user to rename it.
