Startup Minimized

Another problem.
I would like to minimize XYP and launch it on a particular folder to avoid multiple instance of the program.
But the problem is that typing :
xyplorer /win=min c:\
or
xyplorer c:\ /win=min
Does not work, each time a new XYp instance is launched...
How to solve this issue please ?

Note 1 :
I know that the /win switch need to be the first parameter on the line, but I wanted to test if the other combination would work...

Note 2 :
Some of you, in previous posts, are talking of skins, which skins are you referring to, XYp skins or others ?

This is a feature. It is assumed that if you start XY with switches you want to have a separate instance. For instance if the previous instance is currently maximized and then you open a new instance with /win=min, it is assumed that you want an additional minimized instance. Otherwise you would simply minimize the current instance.

I was refering to skins used by BBlean shell. This is an alternative shell to explorer and interestingly for me lighter than explorer.
BTW, I never use show folder sizes option but just thought I will report this skin breaking problem.
Just FYI even the new beta doesnt fix the breaking of BBLean skin. But then I really dont care, it works flawlessly on all other places.

Ok...

Minimize to tray, then maximize -> break skin, yes? Strange. And I still do not understand the connection to folder sizes. It's nearly impossible that there is one...
