All Properties Property:  WshShortcut.WindowStyle object.WindowStyle The WindowStyle property sets or retrieves how the application pointed to by the shortcut will be displayed when it is first launched. If WindowStyle is 1, then the application window will be set to its default location and size. If this property has a value of 3, the application will be launched in a maximized window, and if it has a value of 7 it will be launched in a minimized window. If a value other than 1, 3, or 7 is assigned to this property, the shortcut will be launched in a window at the default location and of the default size. The following VBScript code sets the shortcut "WinZip.lnk" to be launched in a minimized window. Code: Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set objShtCut = objShell.CreateShortcut _     ("C:\Documents And Settings\DevGuru\Desktop\WinZip.lnk") objShtCut.WindowStyle = 7 objShtCut.Save WScript.Echo objShtCut.WindowStyle Output: 7 Copyright 1999-2001 by Infinite Software Solutions, Inc.
