RE: BitTornado disappearing but still in Task Manager
Just to fill people in a bit more on the problem and a cure:
The problem: seems to occur when you have "Minimize to system tray" selected in "Prefs". When you Minimize a torrent, the gui for BitTornado (not sure about other clients) may disappear.
The solution: is found with
cmdow.
This allows you to find a handle to the missing gui and Restore it.
What worked for me:
1. Download and copy the util to %systemroot%\system32
2. Run "cmdow | more" at a command prompt
3. Find the Handle (1st field in the output of cmdow) to the top level gui that has disappeared. Here you are looking for an entry like:
"0x260B60 1 724 Min Ina Ena Vis btdownlo 49.5% (732.53 MiB) Need.for.Speed.Unde ..."
The missing gui should have a "Level" of "1" (2nd field).
4. Once you've found the correct Handle, type: cmdow <Handle> /RES
So for my example:
"cmdow 0x260B60 /RES"
This should bring back the missing gui.
Hope this helps!
