How do I have it run in startup and hang around in system tray? #136

I'd like it to run when I turn my PC on, but not be visible in the taskbar.

Any way I can do this? I have a shortcut for the EasyRP so I don't have to manually find the exe file.

Yeah you can do that by writing an AHK script. Just download AHK and then create an .ahk file and write the code to run a specific application "in hidden mode" upon the script run. The script code would be something like this:
(FOLLOW EACH AND EVERY SPACE PROPERLY AND FILL IN THE PARTS WITH <> NOTATIONS)

Run, <directory of your .exe file>, ,Hide
WinWait, ahk_exe <<exact name of the exe file>.exe>
ExitApp

After completing your script you can make it autorun everytime upon booting up your PC by putting its shortcut in the RUN=>shell:startup=>folder. Check this if you don't know how to do this.

If you face any problems lemme know. Also if you want your EasyRP to work in a better way then check out this repo!

Hi @bBSempai, I want the console window to be hidden, I did try your ahk script but it doesn't work, no errors, I just double click on the .ahk file and it does nothing.
