Thank you, but setting the shortcut to "Minimized" won't make the child of capsrun.exe run minimized.

Regarding quotes, when I use these settings in Caps-Run:

Program:
c:\program files\console\nircmd.exe

Parameters:
cmdwait 2000 execmd start "" calc.exe

This is the command line that actually runs:


If I change the Parameters to:
"cmdwait 20000 execmd start "" calc.exe"

This runs:


And:
cmdwait 20000 execmd "start "" calc.exe"

Results in:


Don't worry about any of this though.  I can live with Caps-Run without driving you nuts over this.  I'm sorry.

First of all, thank you very much for giving this your attention.

It seems that minimized and maximized are reversed.  That is, if Maximized is selected in the Caps-Run interface when the shortcut is created, the shortcut is actually created with "minimized" set, and vice-versa.

But the real problem is that this only sets the shortcut's parameters, and it doesn't affect how the program being run by Caps-Run actually loads.  Caps-Run would have to signal internally for the application to start minimized or maximized.

The startup directory is a similar issue.  Setting it in the shortcut only passes it to Caps-Run, not to the actual program being run.

I'm not sure how hard this would be to do, and I apologize if it's too much to ask.  I also apologize for the misunderstanding.

I will elaborate on the quote issue soon.

Well I guarantee I could sit on anyone's XP system and duplicate the problems with PSTF I've seen.

I give up.  PSTF can KMA.
