How do you start setup? Maybe one of the following will work for you. A Windows shortcut can be set up to start minimized. My impression is that one can use and mechanism to launch a Windows shortcut and then Windows will follow the instructions ("Start in:", "Run:", etc.) in the shortcut. In cmd: start /min From a command line (though not a bash shell when cygwin, bash, or maybe mintty are being updated): cygstart --minimize or cmd /c start /min - Barry Disclaimer: Statements made herein are not made on behalf of NIAID.
