[vpn-help] Version 2.2.2 does not minimize into systray after successful connect (Windows 7)

[Gerd Röthig]

Dear Jim, dear all,

I cannot tick the 3rd option in VPN connect ("Automatically reconnect to
server") because for VPN authentication, a hardware token is used which
generates a one-time passcode on each attempt to connect to the VPN. But
even with that option ticked, the VPN Access Manager Window does not
minimize to the systray upon successful connect.

What am I doing wrong?

Kind regards,

Gerd
