| | How to run "startup" program in back ground (minimized_). Hi, Following one of Brink's guide I managed to get the program to start with windows (was not an option on install) but I also want it to run minimized. Easy as this might sound and probably is, I'm struggling to find any help online. |

| | Hello zambeezi, Please post back with what program this is for, and what you used to get it to run at startup. This will better help us to provide a solution.  |

| | Hi, Ztrucker. Thanks for the info, I've actually done that before and decided to ask here because that did not work. I right-clicked the shortcut in the Startup folder and set that to run minimized but the actual executable does not have the option to run minimized... |

| | Hello Zambeezi, Does it work for you now using a shortcut in the Startup folder? This can only be done with a shortcut, and it only works when using that specific shortcut that this was applied to. Shortcut - Open Normal window, Minimized, or Maximized |

| | Hi Brink, yes it's all working now. I think it was an operator's error... The program was set to launch my Internet browser. I unticked that and now it launches at Startup and runs minimized. Thank you Brink and Ztrucker for you help and patience. |
