    BTW,

    If you wanted to use this and wanted a different Icon, and an actual Tooltip on the mouseover, send me the icon and the text you'd want, and I compile it for you.

    There isn't a way to do this within AMS...

    But, here is a workaround that I've used.

    You can use the ShowWindow function in the User32.dll to hide and show the window. Problem is there isn't a way the user can click on the hidden window to show it again. I created a C++ exe that creates a tray icon with a popup menu to restore the app. In the AMS project, I hide the window, execute the traywait.exe (with the wait until finished option), then follow it with a show window.

    Kind of crude, but it does work.
