If this one is checked you will receive notifications including for "System" and "svchost.exe".

Just check for updates and install the new version. Any feedback is welcome.

Please let me know if this version solves the problems that you have reported with the previous version.

What do you think ?

1. The main window should be allowed to be moved over the screen or do you like the fixed position over the system tray ?

2. Should I make the main window to be active all the time ? It will not dissapear anymore if the user clicks outside of it, like it is now. In this case, the close button will be the one that will hide and will act as minimize the window to system tray. To exit the application a new context menu for the notify icon with a single exit item will be created.

Thank you for your support,
