To show an application's tray icon for all user logon on Windows, you can follow these general steps:

  1. Create a shortcut to your application: Right-click on your application's executable file and select "Create Shortcut". Move the shortcut to a common location accessible by all users, such as the "Public" or "Shared" folder.

  2. Modify the shortcut's properties: Right-click on the shortcut and select "Properties". In the "Shortcut" tab, click on the "Advanced" button.

  3. Check the "Run as administrator" option: In the "Advanced Properties" dialog, check the "Run as administrator" option. This will ensure that the application runs with administrative privileges.

  4. Set the "Compatibility" settings: In the "Compatibility" tab, check the "Run this program as an administrator" option and click "OK" to save the changes.

  5. Add the shortcut to the Startup folder: Open the "Startup" folder for all users. You can do this by pressing the Windows key + R to open the "Run" dialog, then entering shell:common startup and hitting Enter. This will open the "Startup" folder for all users.

  6. Copy the shortcut to the Startup folder: Copy the shortcut you created in step 1 to the "Startup" folder for all users. This will ensure that the application runs automatically for all users when they log on.

By following these steps, your application's tray icon should be visible for all users when they log on to the Windows system. Please note that administrative privileges may be required to perform some of these steps.
