How to get a Cygwin icon in windows 7 system tray

0

I have a work mate that has Cygwin installed on a windows 7 pc. In the lower right, in the task bar he has a Cygwin icon. He can click on it and it pops up a directory of all the Cygwin programs he has installed.

Does anybody know how he got that? Is it some sort of Cygwin package that I need to install or is it some other group that is putting a wrapper of sorts around the main Cygwin program.

Any knowledge would be appreciated,

Thanks.

Nope, nothing to do with task bar and everything to do with system tray. – NDEthos – 2016-08-02T18:58:58.787
