Introduction
Overview
A quick guide to configuring a new Flynet Viewer installation on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 2012.
Describes how to have the "Blue FV Icon" always available in the Taskbar Notification Area icons. Since the process behind this icon needs to run as an elevated (administration) task, the Task Scheduler needs to be used.
If you do not need the icons in the taskbar, than you can simply run, right-click on each icon and un-check the "Display at Startup" setting for each of the icons, then exit each one. On the next startup, they will no longer appear, and the message should also stop.

Actions tab for the new Task
Next, click on the Actions tab, so that a new action (program execution) can be defined.
Click on the New button to add a new action. You can browse to the location in the following screenshot, or key it directly in.
