That won't do it.  What is most likely happening (99.999% sure) is that
Peter has the Options/Minimize on Use checked.  So when you start an app
from the PM it will automatically minimize itself (PM that is).  You
probably also have entries in the win.ini for the load= and run= lines.
If you want to have the PM Minimize on Use when you start an app, you
will have to live with windows starting up with the PM minimized.
