   Howdy! Ben,   
      
   Since we chatted about the Color and Shape behind the Scotty icon   
   on the Taskbar for WinPatrol after the latest Update, I thought to   
   address this message to You but it really is for ALL.   
      
   I Emailed Bret at WinPatrol Support and got an answer why I was   
   seeing the Program updated O.K. in the Admin account but not in   
   the Limited account I use.   
      
   I asked if I could Post what I was told on a BBS and He said   
   it was O.K. , and He sent another Tip with His Reply.

   Our apologies for the difficulties. We've corrected the issue   
   with the Plus pages.   
      
   The installation is user specific, so if you do the following you're   
   limited users should be upgraded as well.   
      
   Please do the following:   
   1..Log in as the limited user   
   2..Run Task Manager   
   3..Locate the process WinPatrol.exe and .End Process.   
   4..Open Windows Explorer.   
   5..Navigate into Program Files or Program Files (x86),   
           depending on if you have a 32 or 64 bit OS.   
   6..Next open the Ruiware folder   
   7..Double click on WinPatrolEx.exe   
      
   Thanks again,

   Here's another tidbit you can post if you'd like.   
      
   How to change tray icon   
      
   1..Open Regedit   
   2..Navigate to:   
           HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BillP Studios\WinPatrol\Options   
   3..Right click on the right side of the screen and select   
           New -> String Value   
   4..Name the new string .TrayIcon.   
   5..Set the value to 107   
   6..Close Regedit   
   7..Scotty will pick up this change in a bit and definitely after   
           rebooting.   
      
   Additional values you can use:   
   Deleting this option will provide the correct Green system tray icon   
   but you can use our little secret to obtain an alternate icon if you   
   really want.  I can't say it will always work but you can use...   
   107 = Blue Orb   
   106 = classic original scotty   
   167  = Plus shield with magnify glass   
   104 = BillP Studios TV with Scotty inside   
   184 = Screen with small clock/watch   
   301 = Yellow question mark   
   102 or 302 = Yellow Tile with Scotty   
   103 or 159 = Blue Tile with Scotty   
   101 = Green Tille with Scotty   
   161 = Yellow Paw   
   165 = WinPatrol Startup Programs  icon   
      
   Thanks again,
