I have an program that syncs my outlook and gmail contacts. Every time it runs it pops up in the taskbar and the developer has provided no option to change this behavior. I was hoping I could find a way to force it into the system tray but haven't been able to. Is this possible with AWM?

Thanks.

Hello Jeremy,

Thanks for the post.

What application are you writing about (name, version)?

You are trying to remove the application taskbar icon and add the application tray icon instead of. Am I right?

Best regards.

"trying to remove the application taskbar icon and add the application tray icon instead"
You are exactly correct.

Although, simply hiding the taskbar entry would be good enough. I can't get that setting to work.

The application is gSyncit. It's an Microsoft Outlook plugin.

The developer of the add-in has added an option to not show the dialog when syncing.
I no longer need to use AWM to try and get this done.

Thanks.
