- Do I really need to have EditPad icon in system tray?
- Posted by wylbur37 on February 18th, 2004
When I installed EditPad Lite using the "No Questions Asked" option,
then reviewed the list of preferences, I discovered that
"Show EditPad icon in system tray" was checked by default.
What is the advantage of having the EditPad icon in the system tray?
I would guess that it means the program is resident and will
come up faster every subsequent time you invoke it.
But the difference can't be more than a half-second?
And this also means that it'll be hoarding up 5 MB of RAM
when it's not being used.
I'm planning on unchecking that option.
Are there any reasons other than "faster startup" for
having the icon in the system tray?

Just because it puts an icon in the tray does not necessarily mean that the
program is loaded and active.
When I used Editpad, years ago, I got the impression that it started when I
used the tray icon, and that it was not loaded when not used.
To find out if it is loaded/active or just has a start icon in the tray you
can use a process viewer or task manager and a memory inspection program to
find out how it actually works for Editpad.
ATM (Another Task Manager)
memload.exe
are the programs I would use to find the truth about the Editpad tray icon.

I use EditPad and it works just as well by changing file associations if
that is what you want to do. It is fast already. So uncheck it.

I place shortcuts to folders in my quick launch, with each folder
containing shortcuts to similar apps. For instance my graphix folder
contains 27 shortcuts. I have 12 folders listed. Using folders to hold
shortcuts and placing shortcuts to the folders on the quick launch gives
the user much more capacity. 
Looks like this...

I keep it in the system tray and I see (with Task Manager) that it takes
only 800 KB of memory, when minimized.
