How do I run a .exe in the system tray? - windows-xp

I have an exe that is continuously running. Instead of having an open window all the time, Can it be minimized to the system tray?

Shell_NotifyIcon is a good entry point for you.

Pyvista program won't show PyVista window on other OS

I have a program that includes PyVista. I have generated .exe file and installation file with Inno Setup. The program installs and works fine with windows 11, but when trying to use it with Windows 10 it shuts down the moment when trying to open a PyVista window from a button in the program. So only the PyVista part of the program won't run.
Any ideas why?
I don't know what to try at all.

Ubuntu 16.04 freezes everytime I run the command 'make qemu'. How can I solve it?

I searched this solution on the internet but couldn't find much. I am doing my Operating System assignment on XV6. I am using the shell file below every time I need to emulate on qemu.
make clean
make
make qemu
Qemu emulator runs and asks for command. Then it freezes suddenly and makes whole screen shadowy. Mouse pointer disappears and I can't close any window. I can't figure out what's wrong with it as I am new to it. Any solution or link would be helpful. Thank you.

Autostart fails to detect default program

Every time my AHK script runs (the Startup folder constains a symlink that points to the file) Windows asks me what program it should use to open the file. Why does this happen?
It sounds like AutoHotkey isn't properly installed? Is it possible you didn't use an installer and are using a Stand Alone version?
To fix:
Either Uninstall/Reinstall latest version of Autohotkey from ahkscript.org
or
Open up Explorer, Right click a file with .ahk, select Open with option, choose a default program, navigate to Autohotkey.exe and choose that program select "always use.." option. If that doesn't fix your problem I'll try and help further.

Several MATLAB command windows possible?

Is it possible to have several command windows (consoles) in matlab?
Yes, you can start multiple sessions of MATLAB in different terminals or windows. Remember that you can use the command matlab -nodesktop to have a MATLAB session without the GUI, it's very useful to save space and memory.
Within a single Matlab session, no. But you can run several sessions of Matlab in parallel on the same machine using a single license.
I think you can start up to four individual sessions of MATLAB on a machine. But the behavior of the MATLAB startup program seems to be different depending on the OS and MATLAB versions.
On Windows, you may be able to start another session by just clicking the icon on the Programs Menu.
On Mac OSX, depending on the MATLAB version that you use, you may have to do 'Show Package Content' (right mouse click over the icon in the Applications folder) and directly double-click the executable file called 'matlab' under the /bin directory (or over its alias) to start another session.
On Linux, you can just type 'matlab' on the Console and start another session.

Run, The Command Line and that Path Variable

I'm having a very weird issue with the command line and running Ant. I point the path variable at the location of my Ant bin directory (C:\Ant\bin) and when i go into a command window and type PATH it shows the location in it. But when I go to run Ant by typing "ant" it does nothing and states that it isn't recognized. But when I go to the run window (Windows+R) and type "ant" it runs it.
I have restarted Windows twice and the problem still persists. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 installed. I have tried "Running as Administrator" with no difference.
Any one experience anything like this before?
Sometimes you can set a system-wide (or even just personal) Environment Variable and it'll cure it, as opposed to just setting it in your shell.
Go to the Control-panel, then System, then Advanced, and look for the button on Environment Variables. From there, you can follow your nose.
Good luck.
Ant also depends on Java to be on the path. Do you have that?
I would also check to make sure the environment variables ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME are set up properly in the console.
Is there any chance that the command window you are trying to run Ant in is a different window to the cmd windwo where you set up and verify that its in the path? If the PATH is updated after a cmd window is already open it won't recongnise the change. Not clear if that might be your issue.
If you are in the dir C:\Ant\bin and type "ant" does it recognise it?
