Check Run automatically when Windows starts box if you want to load PhoneTray on startup (recommended). Check Run as Windows Service box if you want to run PhoneTray all the time, even when no one is logged in (not compatible with "Switch User" feature on Windows XP).

Your Location boxes display your country code and area/city code (3 digits in USA and Canada). To change the country or area code click Edit button. If you live in a city that has more than one local area code, enter additional codes into Additional local area code(s) boxes.

If you want PhoneTray to display numbers within your area code without the area code, like 123-4567 instead of (555) 123-4567, check Remove local area code from incoming numbers box.

Lines to monitor list displays modems or other telephony devices detected by PhoneTray. If Voice column says No this modem doesn't support voice functions. Without voice support PhoneTray will be unable to play messages to the callers. It will still zap incoming calls according to the Privacy Manager settings but callers will not hear zap messages. By default PhoneTray monitors all available lines. If you don't want to monitor a line uncheck checkbox next to the line number.

Click Settings button to select announcer voice and adjust the volume. Check Use fullscreen alert checkbox if you want PhoneTray to display large fullscreen alert on incoming calls. Click Settings button to select fullscreen alert color, size and position.

Click Open button to open this folder using Explorer if you want to explore the contents of the folder. Click Change button to change the location where the data is stored. Make sure to select a folder that all users can write to.
