    Sorry if it's obvious to everyone else or already posted.....

    I can't get the autostart to work as it just puts a link in the startup folder and Win7 requires it to run as administrator level. Obviously if you turn off UAC completely it works, but I like the new Win7 lowest level of UAC.

    After much stumbling I created a task in "Task Scheduler" that starts it on logon, and this way it works fine. Couldn't figure out how to start it properly before logon as the tray icon didn't appear anywhere even though the app seems to run.

    Hopefully that makes sense and is helpful to anyone else having the same problem, it''s fairly simple to create a new task - even for me :D
