auto minimize apps that run @ startup

[jg00d3]

is there an utility that will allow me to automatically minimize apps that load at startup? I have to applications that I want to run @ startup but I don't need to visually see them.
Thanks.

you could try to put minimize.exe in \windows\startup\ folder. That app minimizes everything. Search for it.

There is also a load.exe that will run whatever argument passed, hidden and minimized, it will not run it into a bgprocess however.

Minimize.exe can be downloaded from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?3mzxozxxxwi

I put it in the windows\startup folder, however the other app is in that same folder and it doesn't seem to work.

you can create a mortscript that runs your desired app and after 2 seconds it runs minimize.exe

I've never used mortscript before, I downloaded the manual and started reading, can you give an example of how to run an exe (example.exe) and then pause for 2 seconds and then run another app (minimize.exe)?
Thanks.

Minimize.exe only minimizes the current aplication, if you have many open theres a good chance it wont take you to today screen. What you should to is create a script with one line:
Show ( "Desktop" )

This will minimize everything and show the today screen.

Using Show () and Minimize () from MortScript might be a good solution.

I'm trying to launch an exe (TCPMP) minimized from FlashLite and as there is no available solution using Compact Framework, I believe I can do it with MortScript.

Something like :

In flash :
fscommand("myMortScript.mscr");

In the script :
Run("\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe")

While (1)

Show ("FlashLite")
Sleep(1000)

EndWhile
