Click on system tray item.....
I am trying to automate the click on an item in the system tray (lower right side of screen in Windows). I can use the "move to object" which moves the cursor to the correct position BUT the object I want keeps moving around, depending on what else is open. Is there a way to always "hit" the item in the system tray, even when it moves around? For this particular item I can't find an .exe to start the application, it requires a "click".....

A small suggestion:
Have you tried to open the App in the system tray, open task manager and go to “applications”, select the window of your App, right click on it and select “Go to process”.
This should tell you the .EXE name, then you should search windows to find it.
Or if the App starts automatically you could try and search for it in the Windows Registry
“[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]”

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the item I'd like to "click" open does not show up in the Applications window of the Task Manager.
I can find the applications .exe but if I attempt to run it only places the item in the system tray but doesn't activate it.
