in a traditional way.
2.4.1 Starting/Closing COMMGR
After COMMGR is installed on a computer successfully, a shortcut to COMMGR is created on the
Start menu. Users can click the shortcut on the Start menu to start COMMGR. After the installation
of COMMGR is complete, users have to start it by themselves. However, whenever the computer is
restarted, the system starts COMMGR automatically, and the icon representing COMMGR is
displayed on the system tray. If the icon representing COMMGR is not displayed on the system tray,
users can start COMMGR by clicking the shortcut on the Start menu.
