I'd like an option to run MyInfo minimized on Windows startup.

i have a registry entry to run task manager minimised at startup, this was basically because i wanted the sys tray icon which displays the CPU usage, as although my pc starts up quickly it runs a couple of processes in the backgorund for about 5 seconds and i found that if i ran a program immediately it would sometimes hang.

any way this is my reg entry, hope it helps:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

then i added string value REG_SZ and for the value: cmd.exe /c start /min C:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe

This works perfectly on XP, command promt flashes at log on and then the program runs.

With MyInfo it works similar. To run MyInfo on Windows startup, just check the "Run on Windows Startup" option in the General tab in Tools > Options.

In order MyInfo to run minimized, add the /m switch to the command line.
MyInfo is automatically minimized if "Run on Windows Startup" option is checked and MyInfo is run on Windows startup.
