Good afternoon, dear readers of the blog site, today I want to tell you how the minimized startup of programs is configured when loading Windows 10, Windows 8.1, so that the programs automatically start minimized when Windows 8.1 boots and thus do not interfere, appearing on top of the desktop. In this example, we will be working with Outlook.
Right-click on the shortcut of the program that needs to be automatically launched when the system boots, then select “Copy”.
On the keyboard, press the key combination "Win" and "R", then enter
% USERPROFILE% \\ AppData \\ Roaming \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ Start Menu \\ Programs \\ Startup
and click on the "OK" button. Please note that if you want the program to automatically start for all users, you must enter “C: \\ ProgramData \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ Start Menu \\ Programs \\ StartUp”.
Right-click on an empty space in the folder and select "Paste".
Now the specified program will automatically start at system boot, and the program window will appear on top of the Windows 8.1 desktop. This is not very convenient, so we will make the program run minimized.
Select the desired file and click on it with the right mouse button, then select "Properties".
By default, when you launch a shortcut for Outlook 2010, the Outlook.exe process starts, which runs normally. However, there are situations where Outlook 2010 must be started with additional parameters (command line parameters) for diagnostics, crash recovery, or use in scripts and scripts.
For example, by typing the command outlook.exe / safe, we will start Outlook in safe mode, in which the mail client will start without the view pane, toolbar items, additional extensions and COM components will not be loaded. This launch of Outlook 2010 can be useful in situations when, after installing a third-party extension (add-in), the mail client cannot load normally, the mail profile has been damaged (by incorrect user actions or viruses).
Outlook 2010 with parameters can be launched from the command line using the window
Run, or using a previously created shortcut with the desired parameters.
To start Outlook 2010, you need to specify the full path to Outlook.exe (the path itself must be enclosed in quotes, since there is a space in the path), and after the path, specify the parameter, for example, like this:
“C: \\ program files \\ microsoft office \\ office14 \\ outlook.exe” / safe
Launch parameters Outlook 2010
There are many options for launching Outlook, most of which I have listed in the table below. Most often, however, I use the following:
/ a - Create a letter with a specific attachment file, for example, “c: \\ program files \\ microsoft office \\ office14 \\ outlook.exe” / a “c: \\ my documents \\ test.doc”
/ cmessageclass - Create a new element of the specified class. For example:
/cleanautocompletecache –Remove everything from the cache, including names, email addresses, and autocomplete list.
/cleanrules - when Outlook starts, clear all rules, both on the server and on the client.
/cleansharing- used to remove subscriptions from Outlook 2010 (subscriptions such as RSS, Sharepoint and Internet Calendar)
/nopreview - Start Outlook 2010 with the reading pane disabled

It happens that when installing a new program, through an oversight, you did not disable the launch option at system startup. Or they simply decided that henceforth you will use less often the previously necessary software. There is only one result - now you need to remove the program from the so-called "autorun" Windows.
Startup (autorun) contains a list of programs that automatically start working from the moment the operating system starts. Many of them are required for Windows to function correctly. You may not even be aware of the existence of some. But it so happens that startup is clogged with unnecessary programs, the removal of which will help your computer boot much faster. There are several ways you can do this below.
Through the built-in system utility msconfig
To start it, you just need to perform a few simple actions: in the "Start" select "Run" and enter the command "msconfig" (without quotes) in the window that opens, click "OK".
The "System Configuration" window will open, in which you need to find the "Startup" tab. By going to it, in the column titled "Startup Items" you can see a list of all programs that your system starts automatically. If you want to cancel this action, just uncheck the box next to the unnecessary program. But you should be careful: if this or that name just seems suspicious to you, then this is not a reason to remove the program - perhaps this is an application necessary for the system. Cancel autostart only those programs in which you are one hundred percent sure.
After making the necessary amendments and clicking "OK", you will be prompted to restart the PC - this is necessary for the changes to take effect.
This method can be called the safest, because if you suddenly change your mind or realize that you have removed something you need from autorun, you just need to go back and put a checkmark in front of the program name.
Through the register
To access the registry, we still turn to "Start" and, having selected "Run", enter the command "regedit" without quotes. For Windows 7, enter the command in the Start Search form, or simply press the Win + R key combination. Click OK.
Now you see the Registry Editor in front of you. Go to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SOFTWARE \\ Microsoft \\ Windows \\ CurrentVersion \\ Run. In the destination folder, you will see all the programs contained in the startup, as well as their location on the computer. To remove an unnecessary parameter, right-click on it and select "Delete".
Use this method only if the others are definitely not suitable for you, because the changes made in this way to the registry are irreversible.
Through the folder "Startup"
Perhaps you can get by with "little blood" using this method. Go through the following path: "Start" - "All Programs" - "Startup". In this folder, you will see shortcuts to programs that start at system startup. If there is one among them that you would like to get rid of, just remove its shortcut.
There is another way to access this folder: select the drive on which you have the operating system installed (usually it is drive C) and go to the following path: Documents and Settings \\ All Users \\ Main Menu \\ Programs \\ Startup.
By the way, knowing about the existence of this folder, if necessary, you can easily perform the opposite action - add a program to startup that you would like to continue to run along with Windows.
Using third-party utilities
If you have no desire to delve into the intricacies of a PC or you simply do not feel confident enough to make any manual edits yourself, there is always ready-made software at your service. You can easily find many utilities like OSAM (Online Solutions Autorun Manager) or Autoruns. They have a convenient and intuitive interface, many are Russified. With the help of such software, even for the first time at the computer, the user will be able to disable the program's autostart in Windows.
