    My (shelled) program appears on the system tray, so I have to click on it to show it on the desktop. (the shelled program is alsdo an compiled VB-program (exe). I like to see the program direct on the desktop. How can I do that ?

    Ok, i would say the ghetto way to do it is to have the program save a key in the registry

    Code:
    SaveSetting "myapp","commands","maximize", True
    then have the other program with a timer monitor that key

    Code:
    If GetSetting("myapp", "commands", "maximize", False) = True Then
SaveSetting "myapp","commands","maximize", False
Me.Windowstate = vbMaximized
End If
    but like i said.. this is a very very ghetto way of doing it.
