Hi there. Did a quick search but couldn't find what I was after.... I'm trying to understand if there's a way to start LCDSmartie so that it is instantly minimsed or hidden. I'm using the -totalhide switch which is great but I still see LCDSmartie for a few seconds while it loads. Is there not some way to hide this altogether?
Thanks.

Would be nice to be able to run it as a service (with no tray icons or anything). Would then also be much easier to schedule a restart every 10 minutes or so to fix the problem with the display not showing what it should. Just net stop service and net start service in 10 minute intervals. It also wouldn't have to await user logon, it could run at system startup.

I also agree it would be better if it was a service, but I do have a cheap hack that will work on any windows NT based system.
Create a new scheduled task.
Set it to start when the system starts not when the user logs in
Give it the credentials of the user you want it to run as
Make sure that the End in XX feature is dissabled.
The program should then launch with the system and run completely transparent to all users. To update the configuration I suggest end tasking it in task manager, launching the program normaly again, making your changes, closing it. Then go into scheduled tasks and launch the task again.
If you tell it to run as the same user you normaly log in as you may see the tray item appear.
