Hello everyone,
I've got an issue I'm trying to figure out. I've wrote a simple batch file to initalize and application. Outlook 2003.
It's working great, however I need outlook to start Minimized and not maximized. Any ideas?
If you're using the START command, just add the switch /MIN and that'll do the trick.Awesome Thanks.

Well it works somewhat....

Here is my line of code

start /MIN " " "Q:\program files\microsoft office 2003\office11\outlook.exe"
This works fine....

I'm now trying to pass the parameters "%*" sooooooo I get an error with this command

start /MIN " " "Q:\program files\microsoft office 2003\office11\outlook.exe" "%*" and this one
start /MIN " " "Q:\program files\microsoft office 2003\office11\outlook.exe" parameter "%*"

Any ideas?

what error do you get?I figured it out.

Now I just need to figure out if I can setup a timer of some sort that will give me a 5 minute delay,
then close the outlook exe I open previously. You know I could use ping 0.0.0.0 -n#

# equaling the NUMBER of seconds to ping and then kill the process.... hrmmm that might work! Quote from: v3nom on January 24, 2008, 07:00:31 AM
