    Hi Gang:
    I have a minor, but annoying, problem with Bigfoot Killer Wireless Manager. When I first got my M17xR3 the version that was factory installed was 6.1.0.140. It was in Startup and on boot would run minimized to the system tray. I have since updated three times to the latest version, doing a clean uninstall/cleaner/install every time and currently have installed ver 6.1.0.298. The install continues to place it in startup but on boot when it runs it displays the overview screen. If you click the red X it will minimize to the system tray. After fooling with it, I have discovered that if you select run as administrator from the shortcut advanced button, it will run on boot, not display the overview screen but no icon is placed in the system tray. If you want the icon in the system tray you need to then run the program again from the start/programs button and then click the red X to get it to show an icon in the system tray. I grant you, it is a minor thing but it is really annoying!
    Anyone else having this behavior, or, better yet, found the fix?
    Thanks!
