I have a click-once deployed app that uses a notification icon created using the Hardcodet WPF NotifyIcon. When I deploy it and initially install it, Windows hides the icon by default (as it should). So I change the setting for the app to "always show icon and notifications". But every time I update to a new version, Windows thinks it's a new app and hides it again. Is there any way to get Windows to retain the visibility setting for my notify icon after an update?
Unfortunately, there's no way to get ClickOnce to handle this. This comes up periodically in the MSDN ClickOnce forum, and since Bing is my friend, I can provide you with this link to one of the articles that has some ideas about it.
