Hello everyone, my contribution. A new, simple Launcher for Syncthing. "vb.basic code" This launcher has several functions:

- Running Syncthing hidden.
- Accessing web interface via NotifyIcon
- And close Syncthing, via NotifyIcon

Thanks for your tool. Here is some feedback:

When I start it on Windows 8.1 32 bit, I get the following error:

**************JIT-Debuggen**************
Um das JIT-Debuggen (Just-In-Time) zu aktivieren, muss in der
Konfigurationsdatei der Anwendung oder des Computers
(machine.config) der jitDebugging-Wert im Abschnitt system.windows.forms festgelegt werden.
Die Anwendung muss mit aktiviertem Debuggen kompiliert werden.

Zum Beispiel:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

Wenn das JIT-Debuggen aktiviert ist, werden alle Ausnahmefehler an den JIT-Debugger gesendet, der auf dem
Computer registriert ist, und nicht in diesem Dialogfeld behandelt.

```

The tools runs on Windows 7 without this error.

Your program calls [http://localhost:8384/](http://localhost:8384/)

But I use the port 8080. Is it possible to give the port as a parameter or by a config file or so?

Greetings,
