Hi, everone
I have a little problem, after following the instructions in the video, I don't have an icon in the notification area. When I go to my startup folder and klik on the file "Administration.ffs_real" (see attachments) the program runs fine, what do i wrong.
Regards
Frans

When you say "...I go to my startup folder and klik on the file "Administration.ffs_real" (see attachments) the program runs fine", do you mean the shortcut to the file? Wheny ou do that, the icon does show up in the system tray correctly?

Yes, the icon shows up in the system tray, and then it works fine.

What if you put a copy of the actual ffs_real file in the startup folder instead of the shortcut to it? That's what I do and there isn't an issue, so hopefully we can rule out that real quick. I'm guessing it is running the ffs_real file, which isn't valid. You may need to change the shortcut to the RTS exe and the location of the batch config after that. I will attach a picture in a minute

Can't get a picture with all the text.
I created a shortcut to RTS in the startup folder. Opened properties of it, added the path to the ffs_real file after "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\RealTimeSync.exe"
For me, the entire line below, including quotations, works when the shortcut points to it:
"C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\RealTimeSync.exe" "C:\Users\Owner\Documents\Sync\XXXXXX.ffs_real"
