#29 Cannot get Registry Editor into Win 10 tray

[terrypin]

Not sure if this is a bug, perhaps a limitation? I installed RBTray because I want to place C:\Windows\regedit.exe in my Win 10 sys tray. To quickly open the Registry Editor, hopefully without getting the pesky UAC message that has recently started obstructing me. But right-clicking its Minimise icon just displays the standard menu and does not allow me to place it in the tray.

Have you tried running RBTray as elevated application? This may be necessary for it to interact with elevated apps.

Thanks, no but I will do so. I know how to do that manually, but could you advise how to it on boot-up please?

Create a task in the Task Scheduler.

Check out for example https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11949-elevated-program-shortcut-without-uac-prompt-create.html.

You don't have to go through the steps to create a shortcut for the task (towards the end). Just add a trigger (in the Trigger tab) that runs the task at startup or logon.
