Start Winamp Minimized in Tray

Hi!

I would like to know how to start winamp minimized in the system tray... If possible, is there a command line option that can enable this? thanks!

If you close Winamp while it's minimized, it'll reopen still in a minimized state.

The easiest way to make sure it always opens minimized is to edit the properties for the shortcut icon, and select "Minimized" from the "Run" drop-down menu (default selection is "Normal Window").

@DJ Egg: Thanks for your suggestions, but the first (closing winamp minimized) only works, when winamp is shown in the taskbar, not in the tray. The second (selecting "start minimized" in the properties of the shortcut) doesn't work at all (while it works with other programs). Any ideas? Thx

I am using winamp 5.572 on windows 7
