I've been running the TCP/IP package, which puts lots of windows on the desktop as it boots (one for each of the control or daemon programs). Our users were not really able to figure out how to minimize them when they booted, so I figured I'd do us all a favor and have them come up minimized from the start. So... I edited the ".cmd" files that kick them off so that each "start ...." command was changed to "start /min ....". Worked fine on one machine. Went to the other machine, made the same changes, but on this machine, minimization seems to quit halfway through the boot process. The first few networking processes are properly minimized, but after that, other network processes come up as regular windows. Running a command explicitly as "start /min some_command_name" from an OS/2 window causes a non-minimized command to run. Apparently, "start /min" begins to fail to minimize early on in my boot sequence (and never heals). Any ideas on what might cause minimization to cease?
