Sick of the awkward Win+B and Enter dance to access your system tray?! Not first, that's for sure! I scoured online all over the internet for a more sophisticated approach, but I was unable to find anything for as simple as this, got inspired to make Tray Launcher and it fixes that specifically. With a simple single click from a convenient desktop shortcut, you can quickly access your tray icons anytime you need them and manage apps. Additionally, it automatically puts the tray back after you're finished, maintaining a tidy and orderly workspace. This implies that you may now focus on being productive and have a smoother workflow!
Tray launcher is a lightweight Windows application [only 1,180 kb] and [working set 1.5-.6 mb] designed to enhance your productivity by efficiently managing the system tray. Originally developed as an AutoHotkey (AHK) script, this tool launches the system tray on demand and smartly collapses it when not needed, keeping your workspace organized and clutter-free.
