Guest gvm Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Is there a place where I can specify, for a particular program, that it should minimise the window at start up time? TIA....Greg
Guest JS Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Re: how to force an application window to startup in a minimised windo Check the program's properties setting, in the 'Shortcut tab you should see a 'Run' option with a pull-down list to allow you to select the Window size.

Guest gvm Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Re: how to force an application window to startup in a minimised w Re: how to force an application window to startup in a minimised w I found it works if the program is in the startup folder. But if the program starts because it is setup that way in msconfig, then I don't know how you would setup the minimise function, since the shortcut tab is not apparent. I haven't tried it yet but I thought I would remove the program from msconfig startup and add it to programs/startup as a workaround.

Guest gvm Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Re: how to force an application window to startup in a minimised w Re: how to force an application window to startup in a minimised w JS, I did as you say to the properties of the shortcut in the Pragrams/Startup list but it doesn't work. I thought the setting might be over-ridden by another setting so I went to the Startup tab after running MSconfig and found that both the program I want to start minimised and the Program/Startup shortcut were marked as running at startup. So I un-ticked the program and left the shortcut ticked. Now only the shortcut operates, but it does not minimise the window at startup. Any suggestions? TIA ....

It's possible the authors have anticipated someone trying to minimise their program and prevented it.
