Windows Defender Trick

Nothing spectacular.
Just a little trick,maybe helpful if you use WD often.
Try this…
On Notification Area* point ur mouse UNDER any icon and double click. (Under the icon Not on the icon).
Result: The Windows Defender Appears.
For me works fine when I double click under NOD32 or Logitech set point icon.
(Of course you don’t need this if you allways have WD icon on notification area*)
I personally use this trick because i hate to have a dozen of icons on my notification area so i disable\remove them.
*Notification Area It's that area over there on the right side of the Taskbar where the clock is located.

If this works for you with any way please infor me.

Εχω ανακαλυψει τυχαια ενα κολπακι,τιποτα σπουδαιο αλλα ισως χρησιμο σε καποιον που χρισιμοποια συχνα τον wd.
Απλα πατω 2 φορες κατω απο μια εικονα στο notification area (εκει που ειναι το ρολοι) κανω διπλο κλικ δηλαδης, και εμφανιζεται ο windows defender.
χωρις να εχω εικονα του wd εκει.
Για μενα προσωπικα ειναι καλο γιατι εχω φυγει σχεδον ολες τις εικονες απο το notification area (δεν μου αρεσει να εχω εκει ενα σορο εικονες)
Σε μενα ειδικα δουλευει οταν πατησω κατω απο την εικονα του nod32 η του logitech setpoint ανειγει ο windows defender.

Hi Panais,

I gave it a try and it does not do this for me.

Maybe i will create and upload a small video with that trick.
But,i will like to know why this happent.

Hello, Panais. I works on mine. One minor detail : * under * one of the icons, not away from the icons. Under one of the icons, double click and Windows Defender will show up. Thank you, neat little trick.

UNDER the icons i mean UNDER the icons.
NOT AWAY FROM THE ICONS NOT MILES AWAY FROM THE ICONS.
JUUUST UNDER THE ICONS.
(Works fine on 32bit and 64bit)

I believe you Panais. I have seen this neat little trick floating around the net. I just wish I could recreate it. Perhaps something else must be set somewhere for it to work?

Hi panais

I also have WD enabled in the Stareup file in msconfig.
Your trick works for me! Now if only I can remember it!

Hello, Brink. It does work, and requires nothing to be set. Just go UNDER one of those icons, and double click. Presto, windows defender! By the way, I enjoy your tutorials.
