2 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoHow to make a startup program run in the background?
I have placed a shortcut to a program I have in the Startup folder and it now opens whenever the computer starts which is fine. However, I want it to run in the background or not display the window anymore. Currently the DOS window still stays on screen.
Alternatively, a solution to place it on the taskbar would be nice too.

1 AnswerSoftware1 decade agoLocal Area Disconnection?
I have 3 PCs connected to a router and the 2 PCs work well. The third one works fine also except that at times, the network shows that the local area is disconnected for around 2 seconds.
