Minimize on Autostart like it used to

Post by johndunn »

How do I set Scope to minimize on autostart? It used to do this, and I "fixed" it some time ago, and now I can't remember what the trick is. Senior moment - I'm having lots of them these days.

PS: I searched and actually found a topic, but the answer had been deleted....

No. I remember this up until Scope 4 but then also lost it after that. When you boot your computer all your autostart applications start (like Virus programs etc) and Scope could be one of them. It would launch in the background and load the default project and a little icon (green ball?) appeared in the bottom task bar. Click on that and the Scope window appeared, otherwise it just acted as a 'background' app.

John; this is what is in my startup "C:\Program Files\SCOPE PCI\App\bin\Scope.exe" -s (I think it's the -s)
Win XP 32 Scope 5.0
Mine loads up minimized in the task bar at startup.
I don't remember modifying it after installation so I think this might be the default config.
Hope that jogs your memory :)

The "-s" in the command line does the trick. Thanks!

Now I better write this down somewhere I can find it again....
