Re: Start WLM minimized to tray

I ment Windows Live Mail, wrong by me

Is it possible to make Windows Live Mail minimized start at system startup?

Re: Start WLM minimized to tray

Starting it minimized is easy: Just put a copy of the shortcut in
the Startup folder, right-click and select the Run properties for
minimized. However, it always starts minimized in the taskbar
rather than the tray, regardless of the tray icon settings.

Re: Start WLM minimized to tray

Apparently that can't be done.
The "minimize to tray" feature only works when physically
clicking the minimize button.
