Restore TC from Tray

[squap]

Hi,

I make TC minimize to tray with Shift+ESC . How do I restore it with a shortcut ?

Thanks

There is no way from within TC. Your hotkey is a TC hotkey, the other you want, would be a system wide hotkey. There might be external applications, which make this possible.

Hmm, but Alt-Tab is good enough, isnt it?

I use Macro Express to switch straight to TC from anywhere. I just tried it, it works if TC is minimised to tray. So, I guess the free proggies, like MakroMaker, AutoIt or PowerPro will work as well.

i just downloaded the trial , how do i have to configure macro express to restore TC ?

File/New Macro File...
Macros/Add Macro...
[select a hotkey you want to use for activating TC]
Scripting Editor
From the "Commands" list choose: Windows/Programs: Activate or Launch
[fill the necessary fields] ... Ok
Save
File/Terminate Macro Express Editor

[squap]

works perfectly, thanks

Be careful, Macro Express stops working after 30 days dont forget to register.

So, a cheaper alternative is Alt+Tab, Enter.

This is a great little Alt-Tab Replacement officially made by Microsoft.
With this PowerToy, in addition to seeing the icon of the application window you are switching to, you will also see a preview of the page. This helps particularly when multiple sessions of an application are open.
Only for WinXP though!

As I told above
The big advantage of using a macro software is to be able to switch to TC immediately without searching in a loooong (at least in my case) Alt-Tab list.

I tried it before. Slow and buggy
It shows two entries in the list for the same application if written in Delphi.

Here is my way of doing it:
1. Press [WIN]+, now focus is in system tray
2. Use [<--] or [-->] to locate the blue floppy
3. Hit [ENTER]

Is this a new feature of XP
It seams to be inactive with Win2K

Hello Paul !
WIN+B doesn't work at home under XP-Pro (French) …
* Alt+TAB works fine when TC is minimized in the clock-partition of the task-bar.
