Problem Description

Hi, first of all this is a great app and I'd like to continue using it. However this has been a minor annoyance. At every startup, if I don't have a search icon pinned to the taskbar, the app will launch the setup assistant and ask me to do so. I eventually had to pin the icon just for the app to stop asking.

I have configured a shortcut for EverythingToolbar and even if I pin an icon to the taskbar, I would not click it anyway. If I will need to move my hands to the keyboard to type the search query, then I might as well launch EverythingToolbar with a shortcut instead of using a mouse.

Proposed Solution

It would be nice if the setup assistant does not open just based on whether there is a pinned icon.

Alternatives Considered

I've considered just pinning the icon and calling it a day. But I'd still like to suggest not to ask the user again if they decide not to.

Hello @Yukai-Qian, this is happening because you are using EverythingToolbar in a quite unconventional way by launching it via the desktop shortcut rather than the taskbar icon.

I like your suggestion of adding a checkbox "don't show again" to the setup assistant!

As a workaround, I found that putting EverythingToolbar.lnk into %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar manually is enough to make the setup assistant happy and get rid of it.
