No??... what about a Kevorkian type of doctor?There is NO doctor to help that boy...
Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

I use it for things like web-based apps that run every time a hit goes to site, if its busy my taskbar will be filled with Autoit symbols.

I second that. I have the utmost respect for Valik, and as far as I'm concerned, he isn't a bully at all. He simply does not tolerate information being pushed as truth based on ignorance.Dont diss Valik. If it wasnt for Valik and people, this wouldn't be here. If you don't like the forum, dont come here. Simple. These people make it free, because they know how annoying software is too buy, when its as good as this.
They could sell AutoIt if they wanted, but they chose to use their time to make theirs and our lives easier on computers.
So, if you don't like the forum, DONT come here.

As far as the no icon thing, I like having it. I have written several applications that have that in, and without it, my system tray would be quite cluttered.
All knowledge is power. It is how a person uses it defines what they are. AutoIt is a powerful tool. in the wrong hands, it can do much harm. So can a gun, a hammer, even a simple paper clip. (Remember Bullseye from the Dare Devil movie?)

And another ignorant arrogant pompous No0B falls to the might of Valik.
@Valik,
I think you need a frag counter.
I don't know how may frags you'd have now, but lets round down and start with an even 2000?

Okay. #NoTrayIcon is the coolest thing in AutoIt, and I would NOT use it if that option were not there.
Here's why.
1) I use AutoIt in the school where I work, if the kids knew the monitoring and lock out scripts us Admins where running on, what they frequently call "My PC", or what we call "Our workstations" in order to maintain smooth running of the network as a whole, they would just close it down.
2) I use AutoIt as a general programming tool, an interface to command line programs which I understand, but many of my friends don't, and as it's not usually worth some corporation writing a GUI based program to do the job that already has a menial command line utility to sell unless they build 2000 extra features in which only confuse my friends who only want 1 of the 26 features in the command line utility let alone anything else, I do it in AutoIt. It's fast, it's simple, I haven't wasted much time on it re-writing a massive application etc. However, there is usually a GUI running, and when that quits so does the script. WHY then do I need an AutoIt icon as well? Again, this just confuses my users, and encourages the more paranoid ones to click it, and close it quick thinking it's some spyware, and bug me that my "program" doesn't work.
The only thing I can say should change about #NoTrayIcon is that it should be the default for compiled AutoIts and need a #TrayIcon to enable it.
The tray Icon is great when you are debugging, but it doesn't help end users at all.
Thanks for asking though.
