<![CDATA[Minimizing]]>I use v6.8.5, Windows 7 Enterprise Sp1 - in Notepad++ I checked “minimize to system tray”. It worked OK, but few days ago it stopped working. The program doesn’t minimize to tray after clicking “minimize”.

Haha. Nice one. I’m even “plus one’ing it”. I was just answering the question you posed about features. I really don’t have anything to add, just was pointing out how stupid it is to stay on a really old version and miss out on new features (since that old release) due to the so dumb minimize to tray issue. But you have Freedom Of Choice! Don’t worry, I’m out now. :~D

Well, there are features in a text-editing program, and then FEATURES in a text-editing program. If Notepad++ refused to accept the ‘A’ character when I typed it, then I would probably find something different or use an old version that didn’t have such a problem. If it simply doesn’t minimize to the tray?–BAH! Report it as a bug, but don’t get stuck on a several-year-old version because of THAT. Pick your battles. :-D

right click desktop and create new shortcut
add this as the location (obviously changing the path to your file)
C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /trustlevel:0x20000 “C:\PATH TO\notepad++.exe”
set the name then right click on the shortcut>properties>change icon and navigate to notepad++.exe

So for this long time being i just stick with v6.8.3

You are free to like the features you like, but it is hard for me to believe that anyone would refuse the bug fixes and feature enhancements between 6.8.3 and the current version just because the program won’t minimize to the tray. :-)

I am on Windows 8.1 . After testing both the x86 and x64 versions of npp the only solution to get this program, that used to work fine, to minimize to tray via settings>preferences> misc.>minimize to tray, is to run the x86 version in Windows XP mode. But that leaves you with thick XP style title bars. So for this long time being i just stick with v6.8.3 .

Are we the only people experiencing this> (i.e. Is this not broken for everyone?) :o/

using Windows 7 x64

When starting as administrator it doesn’t “fly” to the systray.

using Windows 7 64bit Notepad++ 6.8.7 and it is working for me.
Did you try starting npp with -noPlugin switch? Is it still broken?
