Minimize CMD Prompt to SysTray

Post by maboroshi »

How do I go about Minimizing the Command Prompt to the system tray I have several cmd windows I need to keep alive but I don't want them hogging my task bar...

Anyideas

If no free apps are available. I may code one myself

Code: Select all

 You could go to C:/windows/system and find CMD then click and drag the icon to the desired place. I am not sure about the directory because I am running 7 currently. I think it is in system though or search for it.
:wink:

Sorry I reread what you wanted and was a bit off. Just minimize it?

this is exactly what i thought, but i am sure i have seen cases of using it where if you minimized it, it disappeared :? i would have probably been messing with something =P

My sincere apologies at this earthly hour Sir Mabs but it seems me and floody have misread the post of the task bar not being hogged xD
