My-T-Soft Startup as Icon

1.77 Note - IMPORTANT: You should configure the startup icons properties, and use the Run: property as Minimized for best results. My-T-Soft supports the STARTUPINFO ShowWindow entry that comes from a shortcuts properties.

1.73 Note - MTSSTART reworked to match changes to 1.70 My-T-Soft, and allow clean opening as an icon, or as an icon in the tray.

Name: Start up as icon

Executable name: MTSISTRT.EXE

Command Line Arguments: NONE, or ms delay (50 - 10000)

Description: Visually opens as an icon - several tricks used to accomplish this (Force open off-screen with no-splash, iconize, then stay around to force back to correct screen position (KEYBOARD.KBF))

Notes: The default value is set at 750 ms. Adding a numeric command line to the startup shortcut will modify the delay. The range of 50 to 10000 is accepted by the software (see source).

This expects to be in the startup group, and the shortcut to the keyboard should NOT be used (this utility calls WinExec to create keyboard process).

----

There is also a second compile to handle the shell icon (in tray) - the source code included has these lines commented out at line 333.
