#404 Start MINIMIZED!

[Anonymous]

Please enable a option and/or a command line switch to
start Privoxy minimized. I find it very annoying that
it starts full screen. It would be great to have an
option for people who would like to have it start
minimized to the system tray in Windows.

Thanks for the great software.

When you make a shortcut to privoxy (or any other program),
you can specify, whether it should start maximized,
minimized or normal. As far as i know, Privoxy does adhere
to such setting.

It does start minimized here by what the installer does. If
it doesn't work-
Make a shortcut from privoxy.exe to the startup folder in
the start menu. Get the properties of the shortcut
("shortcut" tab), and tell it to run "minimized" rather than
maximized.

xoft is correct.

This doesn't work when auto-starting Privoxy as a Windows
service. The only way would be, in that case, to disallow
"interaction with desktop" in the services configuration.
Not sure what could be done, as it seems, that this is
handled by the Windows services subsystem here: As soon the
service produces output, the console gets opened. However,
since this is not a standard Windows console, as it seems,
but implemented by Privoxy, maybe there still could be done
something about it ?

Yes, exactly that I wanted from the very beginning. It is pretty irritating that there is NO SWITCH to allow the start-minimized thing...
