I'm using the following code, which I got from a forum, to put in the startup folder of my PC to automatically start a program after a 10 second delay. It works well. However can I add a line to open the program in a minized state in the taskbar?

ok thanks I've changed it and it will work for Microsoft Word, but the program I'm trying to open is ACT by Sage and it opens this but doesn't minimise it. I see that the page you pointed me to says that it doesn't work with every program, so is it because of this that it's not working or can anyone see an error in the code?

I would suggest using AutoIt if .Run is not minimizing properly.
