Please don't remove the ability to hide the tray icon. If I use Windows' functionality to hide it, the systray is still cluttered (and the same small screen estate taken) by the upward pointing arrow which shows my hidden icons. Until Windows gets a better way to completely hide unwanted systray icons it would in my opinion be better to leave it in.

Also, the option for whether to show a status icon doesn't seem to be in the AltDrag.ini file, unless I'm being very oblivious.

Run the normal AltDrag executable again to show the tray icon.

Huh, I could have sworn I tried that and it didn't do anything. But yes, that does seem to work.
Speculation: maybe because it was running as admin before? So running the exe as a normal user didn't notice the other process and started itself again (with the second copy also tray-icon-less).
Thanks for the quick reply!

This seems to be a problem if AltDrag is running as admin and is hidden. Launching AltDrag again won't show the tray icon again, because a non-elevated program can't send messages to an elevated program.
This is why I have decided to remove the feature to hide the tray icon in a later version, after v1.1.

I configure AltDrag once after installing. Then I use it all day long to move my windows with ease.
Why waste the (limited) space in the tray-icon-area for a feature one only really need one time, after installing the tool?
And even if I want to change the configuration later an, whats wrong with starting the executable again (maybe as admin user) to make it show on the tray-icon-area?

If you are using Windows 7 (or was it Vista?) or later you get a place you can put tray icons you don't want to see all day. I take it you don't think putting it here is enough?
Starting the executable again usually works, but in the case the current instance is running with administrator privileges, it will not do a thing. Unprivileged applications can't talk to privileged applications.

I am using Windows 7 currently.
Yes, you are right, Additionally one could also disable the icon in the "info-area" settings.
And thats a solution I would be absolutly happy with.
Anyway there are so many tools that put a tray-icon, sometimes I really question if this application really had to put another tray icon there, instead of providing another way of interaction ;)

Ah, I totally forgot that you can go that far and remove the icon that way. It might be hard to find though, but I'll explain it in the docs somewhere.
