I am running SQL Server 2000 Developer on Win XP SP2. Something happened to my Service Manager (in my Startup group) - it does not minimize to the system tray when it launches. I've looked for an option or property to change that behavior but no luck. Everything else seems to work fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Solved my own problem. The shortcut in the Startup group needs a command-line switch:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\sqlmangr.exe" /n
and the icon file is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\1033\sqlmangr.rll

Hello,
I tried this option from "Microsoft SL Server", and I'm getting the following:
" The name 'C.....................rll' specified in the Target box is not valid. make sure the path and file name are correct.
But when I changed it from the Startup, and click on the "Service Manager" from the Startup it gaves "Windows cannot open this file sqlmanger.rll"

The SQL Server 2000 installation routine creates a registry entry for launching SQL Server Service Manager (minimized to system tray) at startup:
Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
String Value:
Service Manager = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\sqlmangr.exe" /n
If this entry is in the registry, then a shortcut in the Startup folder is not necessary.
Hope this helps...
