opening 4.5 in hidden mode

craighuddy · Post by **craighuddy** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 4:49 pm

In 4.0. when XP would boot, Scope loaded up my startup project in it's hidden state on the task bar. Since installing 4.5, whenever XP boots, my default project is in it's maximized state with livebar and mixer showing. Is there any way to make my startup project start in it's minimized state as it did in 4.0?

when it is hidden, you can't save it. That's the problem....

The SFP startup command is in the registry. A little tip for seeing startup items: run 'msconfig' and look in the startup tab. There you'll see a summary of everything that starts after bootup. You'll also see the location in the registry of the startup items.

Run regedit
Look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftRun.
You should see:
C:SFPappbinsfp.exe

Right click on the NAME (I have InitPulsar)and choose Modify

Add a space and -s after sfp.exe and click ok.
