Does anyone know how to minimize the newest CLI-client to windows98 on startup?

Run it with the "-install" command and it will be installed as a service. Services are programs that run in the background and require no interaction. If you install it like this you won't see the window pop up.

i just pasted a short-cut into my startup directory and edited the shorcut properties (ie to start minimised)
i found that works just great. plus you get to have the cow in your task bar.

I don't want to install the client as a service since I'll have to update the buffers manual (No internet connection on that computer...) and I'm to lazy to open a dos-prompt and stop the client that way

I'll try the short-cut thing when I get back home from school.

It's working
Now I don't have to worry about my mom closing the client or just minimizing it
