    Start VirtualPC minimized on Windows 7

    Hi,

    I have Virtual PC installed on Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit. When Virtual PC
    is minimized to the system tray and I restart, the console will open on the
    desktop. I thought Virtual PC was supposed to restart in what ever state it
    was in when closed.

    Does it need something added to the entry in the run section of the registry
    or is the setting to start in last state located within the program?

    I appreciate in advance any help.

    Thanks,
    Norm

    I know I should not write these at 5 am Forget the part about the run key
    in the registry. I have a shortcut in the startup folder to start the
    program. I have set the shortcut to run in compatibility for Windows XP SP3
    and also set it to start minimized and run as administrator. Even with these
    setting it still starts showing the console on the desktop, instead of
    minimized to the system tray, where it was when shutdown.
