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

[Gerd Roethig]

Dear Jim, dear all,

if I remember correctly, under Windows XP, the Access Manager Window 
also minimized to the systray after successfully establishing the VPN 
connection.

That's why I was asking.

Kind regards,

Gerd
