Start Everything hidden

[Totoro]

Hello,

How can I start Everything hidden in the taskbar? Please provide detailed instructions. Thank you in advance!

Start everything minimized to the taskbar (& also into the system tray too, depending on the Show Tray Icon setting):

> everything.exe -minimized

Start everything in the background, only into the system tray:

> everything.exe -startup

(In the second case, thinking that if Show Tray Icon was not set, you'd only be able to interact with Everything if some global hotkey had been defined to open it, or if you used some command line option to cause the window to display like: everything.exe -newwindow.)

Should the command be entered in the shortcut or the command-line interface? If the latter, how do I use it? I see there is a download link for it on the main homepage.
