Minimize to tray at vista startup

[Alice]

Hi all,

Is there a way to start Windows Mail minimized to the system tray? If so,
how would I do it?

Thanks in advance,
Alice

You do this the same way you would do this under Windows XP.

Right click "start"

Go to Open All Users

Click on Programs

Right click on Windows Mail

Copy

Open the Startup folder

Right click | paste

Go to the properties of Windows Mail in the startup folder

Set the startup option at "minimize"

Apply and close the popup window

Close everything down and restart your computer to test.

It works for me!

I think she meant mimimise to the system tray, like Outlook can do.

With OE I used to use this:

It could start OE on startup and keep it in the system tray while minimised.

If so, I have no answer.

Yes. Make a shortcut to Windows Mail in your Startup folder, set "run:
minimized" in it's properties, then install OE-PowerTool 3.15 and check
appropriate option.
