Good morning. I ude this function, but I have my windows minimized, and when I logon again, all windows are NOT minimized. Is there a way, at logon, all folders restored, would be minimized? Thanks...
add a login script. This can run from a regular.cmd batch file. Minimize.cmd Code: start /wait /b powershell -command "$shell = New-Object -ComObject "Shell.Application";$shell.minimizeall()" Goes in this folder. (create it if necessary) Code: C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\Logon
That was fast, thank you. But it did not worked. I tried with User, tried with my user name, both did not did the job
I suspect it ran too early, before your desktop had even shown. Maybe a delay of 10-20 seconds to allow enough time for all the explorer windows to load before running the minimize. Also, do not muddle with the path or windows won't find it, the 'User' logon folder is a hard coded location that windows searches each logon and runs any scripts it finds. Likewise there is also a machine folder, but I don't want to get off-topic. Anyways, to fix the issue, I think either add this 'timeout' command and fix the User folder, or schedule the task via task scheduler with the delay. (or maybe an autoit exists already if your google-fu is strong enough) Code: timeout 20 start /wait /b powershell -command "$shell = New-Object -ComObject "Shell.Application";$shell.minimizeall()" Useful locations. Code: C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Shutdown C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Startup C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\Logoff C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\Logon
