Hi, I'd like to start a windows application minimized
As an example I used calc.exe what I tried was using the startupinfo field of subprocess.Popen though I'm not sure, that 'hidden' is really the same as minimized. st_info = subprocess.STARTUPINFO() st_info.dwFlags |= subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW st_info.wShowWindow = subprocess.SW_HIDE proc = Popen( [ "cmd.exe" ], startupinfo = st_info) I also tried creating a shortut of calc on my desktop and setting it to 'start minimized' if I click on the shortcut, then calc.exe shows up as a visible window What am I doing wrong/ Thanks in advance for any ideas somehow I do not see, that -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
