TIL2 - Tray Icon Launcher
---------------------------
Launches executables and provides the minimize-to-tray functionality.
Meant to be run from batch scripts or from the command prompt.
If no command line program provided, attempts to start a hard-coded
execuatable with the following name: "run_me_no_parameters.exe".
This is for hex editing (NB. this may've been hexed alrady).
Using '-C1' option may be used to instruct the CMD
to create its own, new command prompt.
