[Gone] tray icon disappearing when explorer crashes

[lmao2k]

If ioftpd is running and explorer crashes then restarts the icon for ioftpd doesn't re-appear. If i remember correctly u have to include some code that repsonds to windows asking the app if there is a tray icon. Something like :

DWORD WM_TASKBARCREATED = RegisterWindowMessage("TaskbarCreated");

Add that (WM_TASKBARCREATED) to your forms message loop.

You can reproduce this bug by terminating explorer.exe and then running it again.

How iivil. So kiddies can actually hide the tray icon in unregistered version with this little hack.

This does not apply to registered version that doesn't have a tray icon anymore.

I found quite a few progs that had/have this bug. It can be damn annoying when explorer randomly decides to crash on you.

I guess if some kiddies wanted to abuse this bug they could. How comes there isn't an icon on the registered one?

I would say it's more a windows bug than any other apps fault. If explorer crashes it should be able to remember and recreate last state for all apps.

ioFTPD will soon be native service. It's a daemon. No icon needed.
