How do I minimize softwares to tray when starting windows?

I have two softwares that I need to minimize to system tray when startup.

However, one needs me to manually click on "minimize" and the other needs me to manually click on "close" to both minimize to the tray.

I tried modifying the shortcut to run "minimize" but it doesn't work.

any solutions? thanks!

This is generally controlled by the application itself. Try finding an option such as "Start minimised" somewhere in the settings/preferences of those two applications.

Find the shortcut or .exe of the program in question and right click > Properties > Shortcut Tab > Run: You should have a drop-down menu with Normal Window, Minimized, and Maximized > Choose Minimized > Apply/OK and close it. Give it a reboot and see if that worked.

Only a 14 day trial, $20 to buy though.

Hehe. As far as it seems the only option unless someone comes up with some magical registry tweak! :)
