The "-h" parameter (to lauch EG hidden) don't works.

Post by Th├®o »

Hello,

I use Event Ghost with an hauppauge remote and it works great !

The (little) problem is the "-h" parameter that i use to launch EG (In the "startup" directory of the start menu).
When i launch this shortcut by myself it works great (EG is launched hidden) but when it is launched by windows at the startup, EG is launched correctly, but not hidden.

I have updated EG with the last beta version and the problem still present.

Thanks for your help.

Try it with "-hide". That way it works for me (Autostart-Folder)

Strange. Did you copy the link yourself to the Autostart-folder or have you enabled the "Launch on Windows startup"-option inside EG options?

1) What version of EG are you using?

2) Can you paste the contents of your shortcuts here?

Hello and happy new year :D

This problem seems too strange to have a solution so I use another method to autostart it :
EventGhost is now launched at startup by the "run" key of the registry, and it is correctly lauched hidden !
