Never mind, I found the problem. I'm running the app with a command-line parameter which doesn't display the main form, but instead runs through a process and then exits. It appears the main form needs to appear, or some windows messages need to be processed before the app minimizes. Without the parameter, the program does load minimized after the splash screen terminates.

SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE should do just what I want but the app appears normally on the screen. Any ideas? Thanks, Ross.
