PromoteNTA – Promote a Notification Tray Application

This post was originaly published to Stuff the Box on 3 Jun 2013

Well, here it is, my second application!!!

PromoteNTA is little command line utility that can be used to “promote” a Notification Tray application state

If you have the Windows (XP/7/8) Notification Tray (the one in the bottom right corner) configured with default settings, it will hide any application that isn’t active; i.e. telling (notifying) you about something. There are two other states an application can be promoted to, always hide or always show. Windows doesn’t provide a way to programatically “promote” the state of an application tray but instead only allows a user to set this using the User Interface.

PromoteNTA is a way for software developers or system admins to centrally promote an application state for any/all user/s.
