Hide AutoHotkey Windows 7 system tray icon / show it when it disappears
If you want to hide the Autohotkey system tray icon, here’s how or if you are wondering why it disappeared.
If this is in your current .ahk file:
#NoTrayIcon
then Autohotkey will hide the tray icon. This is useful for advanced users, but may confuse beginners who are new to AutoHotkey and copied a random script to their .ahk file that included the command above.
