Question: Start WhatsApp Minimized At Windows Startup (https://www.elevenforum.com/t/start-whatsapp-minimized-at-windows-startup.45605/)
"There are two general WhatsApp settings: - Start WhatsApp at Login.
- Minimize to System Tray (Keep WhatsApp running after closing the application window).
But when I start Windows, WhatsApp opens with the window open on my desktop. I want it to start minimized when Windows starts."This user wants WhatsApp to minimize to the system tray when it starts, because he's tired of manually closing its window to make it do so. AlomWare Toolbox is the perfect solution to this, because you can use AlomWare Toolbox to do anything to a given window when it opens.
To do this, when the WhatsApp window first opens, just middle-click its icon area and select "Opening state > Don't open (close immediately using Alt+F4)" as shown below. Then click the "OK" button on the confirmation box that appears. That's it! Now when WhatsApp's window first opens, AlomWare Toolbox will automatically close it, thus invoking WhatsApp's own function to minimize itself to the system tray.
