Startup and notification area

Start with Windows​

Right-click the bar or the icon in the notification area and enable Automatic startup. This registers DriveLED to start for the current Windows user at sign-in. Turn the same option off to stop the automatic start.

Keep the executable in the location from which automatic startup was enabled. To move it, disable automatic startup first and enable the option again from the new location.

Hide, show or exit​

Hide LED bar hides the window while the icon in the notification area remains available. Windows can place that icon in its overflow of hidden icons. Open the overflow, right-click DriveLED and select Show LED bar to restore the bar.

The hidden state is saved, so a later start can initially show only the icon in the notification area. Use Exit to close the program completely. Exiting the current session does not turn off automatic startup.

Open help​

Select Help from the context menu, or press F1 while the bar has the focus. The application does not provide a separate About or automatic update dialog.
