This feature can be configured in the TDE Menu Editor. I forget if you can 
open it by run dialog, shortcut, or command, but it can be found by opening 
the start menu. 

You can open the start menu, find mathpix (or any other program), then 
right-click on the icon. A little dialog with choices pops up: 

<Add Item to Desktop>
<Edit Item>
<Put Into Run Dialog>

Click on the second choice, <edit item>, which takes you to the TDE Menu 
Editor for that program. Among the choices you see is a box with the label 
<Place in system tray>

Click that box; then be sure to choose <Save> or <Save and Quit>. (Look under 
the heading <File> at the left top corner.)

And now you should have it.
