Hi there. First thank you for this great product, which I am using in the free version.

I need an option to run programs in compatibility mode. I am using Windows Live Mail now (just switched over to it) and to be able to have it just in the tray instead of the task bar I have to run it in compatibility mode of Windows Vista Service Pack 2 on my Windows 7 machine. I did not see such an option in the preferences. Would be nice if you could add such an option.

You can do that already through Windows: open the folder where the .exe is, right click on the executable, select 'Properties', then go to the Compatibility tab.

From then on that application will launch with the compatibility settings you've selected, no matter where you launch it from.

Thank you. I did that for the link in the start menu already, but I closed the application instead of minimizing it.
