Why do you expect XY to be in the system tray after a reboot if you didn't start it on reboot?
Put a shortcut to it in the autostart folder e.g....

In XY:

Make sure, both panes are open (hit F10 if they are not)
Enter this in the address bar of XY and hit enter afterwards:

Code: Select all

%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Startup
This should take you to the autostart folder at least on an english Windows XP

Now activate the currently inactive pane and navigate to the folder where XY
is installed

Hold down the left ALT key
Left click and hold the XYplorer.exe file and drag it into the other pane
Release the left mouse button and the alt key
