How To Automaticaly Start A Program Minimized

If you're using a shortcut, have you tried this?

Example:

Attachment 329505

It's mainly autorun. That's why it's significantly annoying.
But even manually this doesn't work. Minimized is the same as normal window.

I guess I don't fully understand. I just created a shortcut to Autoruns and set it to run as Admin and start minimized. Clicked it and it started in the taskbar, where I would expect it to, minimized.

Is this something you have in the Startup Items in the Startup Tab of Taskmanager?

I was responding to your question. It's mainly started via autorun, so shortcuts don't come into play.

Well, maybe if I used C:\Users\zsolt\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

Anyway, as I said setting minimized for Messenger apparently doesn't have an effect anyway.

Create a shortcut to that program and set the shortcut option to run minimised. Then copy the shortcut to the startup folder at C:\Users\[myname]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Annoyingly it doesn't even work if I start it myself with the shortcut.

What happens when you double-click on the shortcut? Nothing happens? Or an error message?

Starts with normal window.

What does the window display?
