A Allotriophagy macrumors 6502a Sep 5, 2006 917 0 Sep 8, 2006 #4 Possibly make a little Applescriptlet for your start-up items? I got the following from here. Code: --Hide App tell app "System Events" tell app "Mail" to activate tell process "Mail" to keystroke "h" using command down end tell end tell Something along those lines might work?
