MWP 7.3.0 - starting program

[Maciek]

I've checked in Settings "Start MailWasher minimised" but program doesn't minimise during starting Windows 8.1.

MWP minimizing fine here, both - to System Tray and to Task Bar, as well on Windows 8.1 (8 and 7) startups, for me.

You may see a MWP window open during start up but then go minimized.

Unfortunately, the window remains open. There was no problem in MWP 7.2.0.

Can't repeat your problem: minimizing works fine here. But you could try something that did work for me in other cases:
Try this: uncheck the option, press [SAVE] button and then recheck and press [SAVE] again..

Go to Help, User Files and leave the folder open. Then clear the Minimize on Startup tick box and Save then Recheck the tick box and Save. Then close MWP and open a file with Notepad++ in the user directory named GeneralSettings.xml.

The area you are looking for is here:

Code: Select all

  <Application>
    <MinimiseToTaskbar>False</MinimiseToTaskbar>
    <MinimiseOnClose>False</MinimiseOnClose>
    <StartMinimised>True</StartMinimised> 

And verify the setting for StartMinimised as being "True".

I've made all, you suggest, but it doesn't work (the setting in file GeneralSettings.xml is OK).
But the problem occurs only, when I start system. When I quit MWP manually and reopen it, the application minimise.

I don't know that it will make any difference but locate the MWP Shortcut in the start up folder and check the properties to see if it is set to Start Maximized. Mine is set to Normal on W7.

[TrustFire]

The MWP startup shortcut (MailWasherPro) should be available at the following directory - however, in my experience the property is always at Normal for Windows that are minimized (maximized and normal, too - you may try changing it to Minimized, though):--

Code: Select all

C:\Users\YourProfileName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

[Sidewinder]

One further thought. You may want to see if there are two shortcuts for MWP being used. The first being minimized and then the second recalls the program. You should be able to tell by using MSCONFIG.

In Windows 8.1 & 8 - MsConfig no longer works the way it did in older Windows:--

I think, that is the problem.

I'd suggest a full clean re-install after cleaning up all debris from the existing installation.

[Maciek]

I turned off one position in startup programs and all seems to be OK. :-)
Maby I will also try clean re-install to remove this entry in startup programs.
Thank you all guys for helping!

I would just leave the status alone unless you can manually delete the shortcuts from the startup folder.
