Start a program minimized

Hi to all.
Anyone know how to made automatic startup of application in minimized mode?
I must do this to workaround to a mms problem, effectively i can receive mms only if the message application(tmail.exe) is started.
I think a good solution is to put a link to the application in automatic startup of ppc and it works fine, but when i reset the device at the end of startup process the application is in the foreground.
Thanks to all.

This would be easy if you use wisbar advance 2 or spb pocket plus.
firstly,u will have to put the shortcut of the program's exe file in the windows/startup
secondly, if you wisbar you'll have to put it under task management and tick on minimise(or dont show the icon)
if you are a pocket plus user,put it under exceptions tab(go to "close button" properties and then to exceptions tab)

Thanks a lot but this don't solve my problem...
If i softreset the ppc when it restart the tmail application remain in foreground and i must close it by x button.
The application continue running correctly in background but if possible id' like to completely automathize this process without anyone user action.

Srry that cant be done. I did the same,when I wanted to run pocket informant to always run in the background

There is no solution out of the box (unless there are hidden parameters that make the app minimize itself after starting, but who knows...) Both of you can workaround this with MortScript though. Google for the download link (use "MortScript" or "Mortscripts"), it is a freeware batch automation environment. Install it (small) and make up a script that you put into your autostart folders. It will look kinda like this:
Run \Windows\tmail.exe (or whatever other application you want)
Sleep 250 (adjust to how many milliseconds app takes to start)
Minimize <window title> (not .exe file name, but window title!)
That should do the trick.

All running programs icons at system tray?

There is a way to put all runnings programs icons at system tray (left comm manager and battery indicator)?
Some programs is there (like TomTom) but others is running but don't show!
I use SPB pocket plus to show and switch running programs (alt-tab function), but if I can show all at system tray think is usefull.
Thanks

There is a small software called "xbar" making it possible to gather all the programs chosen in a bubble accessible by a simple button from the phone.
Look at here
http://xetranet.free.fr/xbar2/?lang=eng&project=xBar 2&page=Presentation

there's a ton of apps that do that type of thing - I use MagicButton myself.
I don't think any of them put the icons in the 'tray', though. I'm not sure how useful that would be either, as the 'tray' is only visible on the Today screen.

I think is usefull because if you don't close apps don't know "in a flash" what is running! You will see today many times, don't?
I use SPB alt-tab funtion assign to a botton, but if don't enter on it I don't know how many apps are running... anm memory slow down (I use too close app button)!

vbar is a great application with low memory usage.

Task Manager

Hello,
I was looking to find a good task manager for the Xperia X1.
The possibilities I found were: Magic Button, wkTASK and PBar. But I do not know which one to take. I like the 'taskbar' functionality in Magic Button and wkTASK, which I miss in the HTC task manager.
What task manager software do you use?
Request for advice in choosing the best task manager for the Xperia X1.
Thanks in advance for any support and advice,
Mike

QuickMenu. It's almost perfect (almost).

I have problem with Quick Menu. When I press panel button, the panel selection screen only shows after I tap screen.

Doesn't Quickmenu lack the support for fast application switching as with the taskbar functionality in wkTASK and Magic Button?
(taskbar as kind of like in windows xp/vista).

i use pocket plus for tasks it fits my needs, and the programm at all is great on speed, functions and memory usage

I would like to easily switch between applications. For example to and between my agenda and browser during a phone call. Which application is best for this?

This is the best one that I've found. Amongst other things, allows you to manage all those hidden applications running. http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm

i use wktask, quickmenu and fdcsoft taskmanager, all very different and have different uses.

PocketPlus comes w/ "alt-tab.exe" which does the same thing as your desktop.

D2 Problem, applicatoin can't run in background.

Guys,
I have an issue that when my application go to background (for example S2U2 activiate), the application will close automatically (even if only 60-70% memory in use).
I am not sure if this is the AutoKill function provided by the HTC task manager.
I have tried to edit the register to "disable" and "disable the autokill"...BUT problem still exist.
I am now doubt if there is any other application will have the similar autokill function?
Thx!

Randomly the same happens to me. Could not find why it happens and how prevent it.

How can i hide (not close) htc message with right down close button

Hi all,
i use spb mobile shell. With this UI, takes a long time to load sms messages (1 sec is a lot for me ). So i try to figured out, how can i hide sms ui, but not close.
I tried Ameba, but this doesnt have possiblitity to do exception for apps.
Maybe some change of registry? In my signature are my rom (i use rom with big buttons and cross in right down corner)
any suggestions?
thx

will it be closed if you just hit the backbutton? or are you looking for a software solution?!

Maybe this is what you're looking for. Excerpt taken from tboy2000 thread:
82. Make Common Apps Open Instantly With No Delay
The most often used apps on the HD2 would be SMS and Email. As the HD2 has plenty of memory and it is very hard to fill it up during use, why not add these two apps to the task manager exception list. This means they will never truely exit and will always be open in the background. The benefit of this is that HTC Messaging does not automatically refresh and redraw the contact thumbnails when you load the app. Instant opening of both apps with no load time. You can add any other app to this list too if you never want it to exit.
Just use this tweak. HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManagerExclusiveList\System and add a new DWORD Value of Messaging_Client.exe and tmail.exe

to fruchtfliege:
i know about back button, but yes, i want software solution. I want alway use cros for closing apps, but for this two i dont want to close them.
to weepatc:
yes, i know about this change of registry. I tried it in past, but i think it is not working because it is not very quicker loading. I dont see them in task manager (but maybe this is normal when it is excluded).
i will try it again..
thx guys for help
if are any other suggestions, it will be great

now i figured out, that tmail is ok, and this exe file doesnt close, but file Messaging_Client.exe it still close after pressing cros (X).
I try tu use sk tools in runing proceses i also try to set "add to dont close list" but it also doesnt works and this process is still killed
why?
