If you are responding to someone asking for help who
may not be a member of this list, be sure to use the
REPLY TO ALL feature of your email program.

None of the start parameters make any difference when starting it from
the command line. I have used the fake name trick to set the "start
minimized" flag. It doesn't work with Warplog. Warplog gets hidden when
minimized AND started from the object in the startup folder.

Time868 DOES start minimized when started from the startup folder, but
the icon is still on the desktop, not hidden as requested.

Curiouser and curiouser...
