Is there a way to open IE from Windows Run minimized ?

It you want it minimized, you must be interfacing in a programmatic manner, correct?

Using OLE, IE will start with 'visible' = false.

Hey bartonc

i am not sure what you mean by using OLE .. can you clarify and guide how to use

hi here,

I don't think so! It seems impossible to do that. I wonder if anybody could show me a way.

Hi Cstrike_dish

doing this was so simple, i did not know. I have just implemented it using VBA:

Tis is part of the code - for demonstrating

Dm oIE As Object
Dim oDoc As Object
Dim oBody As Object
 
Set oIE = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
oIE.Navigate ("msdn.microsoft.com")
 
'Wait for the web page to load completely.
Do While (oIE.ReadyState <> 4)
Loop
 
Set oDoc = oIE.Document
Set oBody = oDoc.Body
 
oIE.Visible = False         <--------  make IE invisible
 

We can do the same thing using any other langauge as well.

As this is the windows forum im was sure you didnt mean by programming but by arguments. What i found about this is at this Link! though.

See now i was mistaken :)

Well,
another riddle !

who knows how to open Internet explorer (not using any programming at all)
minimized.

maybe using Windows RUN command:

iexplore { any parameters? }

or there is any other way of doing it?
Anyone ?

If you read the link i gave you, you would see its not possible! Did learn that easiest way to type in new adress and open explorer would be something like: Windows key + R - type iexplore google.com
