Enabling Windows Vista Starter edition to run more than 3 programs
Posted by wishbonemehk on March 28, 2009
Hi! I discovered one thing about Windows Vista Starter Edition. My Sister’s notebook is running on Vista starter edition and it complains everytime I run more than 3 programs. I can only run 3 programs at maximum. I also can’t afford of getting the other version of Windows Vista so I find ways on how to deal with the limitation.
When I selected a certain program to be visible on the tray while invisible on the taskbar(to minimize space on the taskbar), I noticed that Vista Starter did not detect the program running on the tray. So I googled on how to put all programs on the tray. Then I’ve found a very small tool which is the “TrayIt!”. no need to install, just run the program and then you can select all running programs to be visible on the tray when minimized.
That was it. I can now run multiple programs using the starter edition. I just have to double click the icon of the program i want to view, on the tray. If you want to have that small tool, just google it. ![]()
