Startup option does work

[Floppy]

Hello,

the option "Minimize application window at startup" does not work after a windows restart. For other options see at attached "Options.txt".

That works as expected here, testing on Win XP SP3 w/ UR Pro 4.1c and your options settings. Do you possibly have a shortcut to UR or a .urd file in the Start Menu Startup folder?

Very strange!? (Tested version: 4.1c Win XP PRO SP3)

I do not have a shortcut to UR or a .urd file in the Start Menu Startup folder.

Did you restart windows with my option settings and least one active UR database? Only then the problem occurs.

I have attached the screenshot with the logon tab.

Nothing seems out of the ordinary. I'm not really sure why it doesn't honor that option for you.

I also am having that same problem too without any luck in getting it to start minimized.

Me too

Try unchecking the 'Run UR when Windows starts up' option in UR, restart Windows, and see if UR starts (and if minimized). If it doesn't start, try adding a shortcut to UR to the Start Menu Startup folder (drag/drop from the desktop or Ultra Recall start menu folder) and restart Windows.

Thanks
I will try that and then post the result

I tried the unchecking it in UR's options and then putting the shortcut into my startup folder and unfortunately same result of it starting up NOT minimized... Not sure what else to try....

Possibly this: http://www.kinook.com/Forum/showthread.php?threadid=1597

Set the value larger than the number of seconds from entering your logon password until UR is displayed * 1000.

For me this last suggestion seems to work the best. I put in like a 20sec delay which may be a little extreme but I figured that would be more than enough time for all the startup processes to settle down and still be ready when I need it.

How come, if I have UR set to "Run at Windows Startup" and "Minimize application at startup" UR always starts up open?

Shouldn't it be minimized (to the tray)?

I THINK I Amy have solved this:

I totally uninstalled UR;
I re-installed UR;
I set my Options to "Run at Windows startup" and "Run Minimized";

At that point, it was still starting up opened up. Then

I resaved the database so that it was NOT read-only ('cause this causes a message box, forcing UR to open);
Made sure there were no hotkey conflicts ('cause this causes a message box, forcing UR to open).

Then upon restart everything seems to be OK.

Hope that helps someone besides just me!
