There should be a "Start minimized" choice for its startup.... I think so anyways. Try that.

Click on the scales at the top of the post you wish to give rep too.

I feel like your being sarcastic though. I haven't actually done anything for you. Though now I think about it, I will go mess with the settings to see if i can find it.

Ok, so I looked everywhere, and as near as I can tell, there is no way to start it in the system tray.

I think you wanted it to start as the miniplayer on the task bar though right?
Right click the task bar, go to toolbars and click on WMP11. That should start it minimized, though it would not work for me.

~Lordbob

EDIT: That sets it to display the mini play AFTER you minimize the window. There may be a command to set this, but I don't know it. Sorry.

you can start it minimized, right click your wmp shortcut and click the dropdown menu and set it to start minimized, then open the start menu folder and place this shortcut in there, works perfectly for me.

the only thing i have in my target is /prefetch 1, which does absolutely nothing in my eyes, but i did try adding a target command line, nothing happened, i added "start /min", so i deleted any commands and kept the prefetch 1 command and just clicked on minimized in the dropdown menu. i dont know why its not working for you arsehley, fiddling with it?
