Question Tray Icon

[Zexor]

my program has a tray icon and i want it to show up in the system tray. so i went into my windows notification area and set it to show icon for my app. But when my app update to a new version with clickonce, it will think its a new app and i have to set it again. Is there a way that it will treat all new version as the same program and i dont have to keep setting it?

Are you not setting it to show up in the tray from code from within your app? And you are setting the icon property to your icon of choice, right?

icon

it is showing up in tray as normal, but windows 7 like to hide the tray icon by default into its dropdown menu. and it has option where u can set some program you want to "show icon and notifications"
and each time i update the app to a new version, it will see that its a completely new app and it will have a new entry in the list that i have to set it to show icon again.
