Start Minimised

Post by rod147 »

I have added XY to my start up list and in the properties set it to run Minimised. But it always seems to start in its normal window mode.
What's happening dude?

If you go into the properties of any Windows shortcut, you have the option of starting the program in "Normal Window", Maximised or Minimised. But these setting do not appear to have any effect, XY will start in whatever mode it was in when you closed it.

Yes, I know. But why start minimized? What for?

Whatever, starting minimized is at the moment not supported.

It's not only minimised, I have the XY shortcut set to open XY maximised. It does not do this and opens XY in the same screen position and size as I closed it in (this is usually maximised so not a problem). Save settings on exit makes no difference, exit without saving makes no difference. It would appear that XY always opens in it's closed screen position and size.

Yes, but when closed in minimized state, it will re-open in normal state.
