Minimize the windows explorer exe into system tray

The solution to your problem may lie in the msconfig utility.  Go to run and type msconfig and delete all unwanted startup and services from running.  Should fix your problem.

>>I want to minimize the windows explorer exe in system tray

Is that an option in explorer?  (It isn't in mine).  If not then you can't do it.

I don't think it is possible. At least not in the default Windows' configuration.
You may replace your shell with a different one, this is usually a thing like "TweakUI", or something similar.

Problem is If I have a dialog based MFC application I will able to Minimize it in the system tray by using the following code:

                NOTIFYICONDATA niData;
      niData.cbSize = sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA);
      niData.hWnd = m_hWnd;
      niData.uID = 1;
      niData.uCallbackMessage = WM_TRAY_ICON_NOTIFY_MESSAGE;
      niData.hIcon = m_hIcon;
      niData.uFlags = NIF_MESSAGE | NIF_ICON | NIF_TIP;
      wcscpy_s(niData.szTip, 127, _T("Tray Me !"));

      Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &niData);

In the same way I want to open the windows explorer on startup through program and  when user closes it it  will minimize into system tray. Is it possible programatically.

Thanks In Advance
