I wish that autoGK would re-register it's systray icon. Occasionally my explorer crashses, and most apps know how to
re-register, but autoGK does not.

It woudl be cool if this could be fixed.

I would also be cool if I knew how to do that :)

Actually I have a solution for win2000/XP users. version 1.24 will have it (although I can't test it since last time I have explorer crash was more than 2 years ago :) )

*EDIT*
I managed to kill and restart Explorer on winXP and magic - it does work! :D

The easiest way to check an explorer crash is to just close all your "explorer" processes in task manager and then restart explorer (file, new task in the task manager).
If you want a full "crash" test you could use instead of "end process" the "end process tree" don't quite remember what happend last time I did that although I think that if you do that you shouldn't expect AGK to still be around as its process would also have been killed.

I usually see my explorer crash on corrupted AVI files. Twiddle a few bits at the beginning of an AVI file with a hex editor, and
kaboom. Especially if you have the "preview" options turned on.

Outside of that, it's been pretty solid.
