I have modified the RBTray app to work with the WhatsApp desktop client.

Download WhatsappTray here

Important: DON'T start the application with admin rights unless WhatsApp is also running with admin rights!Otherwise, it will not work because of communication problems between the two applications.

Tested with Win10 64bit (64-bit WhatsApp client).

Use this program: .

I tested with WhatsApp and worked fine!
