I was wondering what type of changes I have to make to the registry or the lnk or exe file to get a program to run on startup and minimized?
Thanks

How to force a program to start and run minimized on start up
- Thread starter heartpumper77
- Start date
It doesn't really have to do with the registry and is pretty simple. Just get the .lnk or .exe and navigate to Windows>Startup and whatever you want to start up, just place the shortcut there.
Yea it can be done with MortScript. I did it. Your script should look something like:
Run ( HiCalculator.exe )
Sleep ( 5000 )
Minimize ( HiCalc )
You have to refer to the mortscript manual for more info.
Basically the above script starts the program, waits 5 seconds, then mortscript will look for the window title and minimize the window
Run ( HiCalculator.exe )
Sleep ( 5000 )
Minimize ( HiCalc )

Even better way to do this is to use the WaitForActive() command. It waits for a window to become active, but no longer than a defined time period.
Code:
Run ("HiCalculator.exe")
WaitForActive ("Hicalc", 5000)
Minimize ("HiCalc")Even better way to do this is to use the WaitForActive() command. It waits for a window to become active, but no longer than a defined time period.
This way if the window is displayed after 1 second, the script minimizes it and ends. Your version would always wait 5 seconds before minimizing the program, no matter how fast it's launched - why waste so much time?Code:Run ("HiCalculator.exe") WaitForActive ("Hicalc", 5000) Minimize ("HiCalc")
Nice! Thanks
As you know the Mortscript manual is huge, I just skimmed through it Similar threads
