How To Start An App At Start-up Minimized??

[olletsocmit]

I have the app called "SimpleTask" set to start-up when i turn my Mac on. The icon is just in the top taskbar. The problem is that when i turn my Mac on the window of the app comes up on my desktop and then i have to manually minimize it every time. Is there a way to have it start-up minimized in the taskbar from the start so i dont have to do it manually? There is no option for this in the preferences. There has to be a way to do it thou.

What about the HIDE checkbox in System Preferences > Accounts > YOU > Login Items?

Btw, what you call "taskbar" is called the "Menu Bar" in Mac OS X.

It is no longer working. I very rarely restart my Mac so i just noticed it. After i checked the hide box and restarted my Mac it started hidden the first time, but this only happens 1 time and then it automatically unchecks itself. So every other restart i have to go back in and check hide again. Any idea why it only works for 1 time after i check it, then does not work any more?

Use the grey restore DVD that came with your Mac and repair permissions via Disk Utility while booted from it.
Maybe that can resolve the issue.
