If you want an application to start upon launching Windows
95, then you just add its shortcut to the StartUp menu.
Simple enough. So what happens if you're really picky and
want the application to start, but shrink to the Taskbar the
minute it opens? No problem. Just tell Windows 95 to start
the program minimised. Assuming you already have a
shortcut in the StartUp folder, all you need to do is change its
Properties.
Right-mouse click the shortcut, choose Properties, and click
the Shortcut tab. On the Run line, click the drop-down arrow
to display your three possible options--Normal window, Minimised, or Maximised. Select Minimised, click OK, and from now on, that application will shrink out of site when it opens at start up.
