How do I get this to load into my system tray at startup, rather than a window on top of my desktop?

Yeah, very nice and small program – too bad it doesn’t work with my Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Si1520.

1. I can’t specify the critical or low battery level
2. there is no sound even if the battery is at 5 percent

I thought that after years of searching I have found a tool that is able to alert me of my dying battery – but I have to search on.

No battery alarm and no pop up on brand new Dell Windows Vista.

This battery monitoring icon does not sound on my system either. The icon is a little too large, and cannot be tweaked easily. So I’m still stuck with the problem, and can’t find an awful lot of help on internet.

Yahoo widgets has a tool called “Battery Monitor”. Its perfect, and beeps when system is on low batt, and even can be set to blink the battery icon in red, and give continuous beeps to to alert user!

if u know little bit of Visual Basic coding, u can create the application yourself. just google for the vb code to check battery status, and then to play a wav file… thats it.. u can make ur own good application !!!

Has anybody been able to dwonload the darn program!
I can NOT find the darn download … it only takes me to all other sites … sounds like this site is being used as for the Directing Traffic to other sites! 🙁
