+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.
