I enabled tray support many years ago because of some annoying issues with Win95 and the taskbar that went away in Win98 and XP but I never disabled the support since it wasn't an issue. On trying to get PowerPro to work, one I used pproconf to remove the tray setup and PowerPro worked right afterwards. I must say, though, that I had ended up changing a lot of things at that time so I cannot be absolutely sure it was the tray support that was the cause of it? Something that leans more in its direction is that Vista now allows taskbar grouping of buttons so maybe the taskbar structure/APIs have changed?

As such, I can easily run an app as admin either by forcing it via a Properties option, in which case it will always run that way or simply context-clicking the shortcut and selecting the Run as admin option but, again, this isn't needed.
