    Default OS-Specific issues

    I want a guide to some OS-Specific issues (mainly for Windows)

    1- I want to make my application run at OS startup.
    2- I want to add a system tray icon for my application.

    That you do when you "pack" your application for deployment using an installer.

    since you seem to work under widows, have a look at NSIS: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/

    Ii have to correct my first post, i read it fast and i was thinking at quick-launch instead of system tray (fatjuicymole corrected that thanks)

    Thumbs Up for NSIS, i used it in the past, it's nice
    Also, there was NSInStaller (an GUI for creating NSIS scripts), but i don't think that the project is continued
