  4. Windows 10 System tray/notification area icon width?

    Windows 7 Win7 Windows Task Scheduler, when running silent, also suppresses sound

    I had found that, to not have my programs visible in the TaskBar (ie: DSNTODAY), I must, in the General Tab, select 'run whether user is logged on or not'. Unfortunately, tho logically, this also seems to apply to sound (ie: the Win32API BEEP and MESSAGEBEEP). When I select 'run only when...
