How To Start A Program Minimized
Windows 10 Applications Start Minimized
Normally when you start a program you will get a window popped open with an icon displaying on Taskbar. But do you know that you can actually make that window completely hidden? It could be useful in some cases where you need a program running at the background without people noticing it, such as a program hidden quietly recording what you do on your computer.
Task scheduler program start minimized. Hello all, I just discovered the task scheduler and I am using it to start programs at logon, like eraser. The only problem is I would like to start them minimized and I can't quite figure out how to do that. I have set the program properties to run minimized but it doesn't want to play nice.
- A developer can change window size and max-/minized property on the fly. If setting the shortcut and start /min does not work then the program is probably settings itself up after launching. To be fair, by the amount of costumers i had complaining about programs not starting when they just minimized them i can understand such a decision.
- Run a program. To start a new program (not a batch script), you don't have to use CALL or START, simply enter the path/file to be executed, either on the command line or within a batch script. On the command line, CMD.EXE does not wait for the application to terminate and control immediately returns to the command prompt.
Let’s say you want to launch a program called MySpy.exe, and you want to launch it in hidden mode. And here is you can do very easily quickly with a PowerShell cmdlet called Start-Process with a Window Style switch set to Hidden.
Start-Process -WindowStyle hidden -FilePath myspy.exe
Once the program launched, you won’t see it from the Taskbar but only in Task Manager.
Cool, isn’t it?
