Minimized on open

[csicky]

Hi

I'd like to know ho to fix this:

Winamp remembers at closing if it was minimized or not, and if i close it with right click while minimized, when i open it next time it will show up for a flash, then remembers that it should be minimized as it was when it was closed, then jumps down in the taskbar to minimized mode.

The annoying in this is that i see it in this flash and try to hit the play button with the mouse, and as i bring my mouse to it, disappears and i click on nothing :)

So what i ask basically is where is that option to tell winamp not to remember it's last state, and always start in front, not minimized.

Thank You!

This question is so hard to answer?

As far as I know there isnt. Winamp will always remember its last state.

It would also be a nice touch if Winamp could be rid of that "flashing" behavior. But, ah well.. as another recent thread here explains: priorities..

One of those anomalies with Winamp.
You can set the properties of a shortcut so it always opens minimized, but setting to maximized has no effect.

Thanks for replying!
My mom always closes Winamp with right click while minimzed, that's why when i come to the PC, occurs this.
But no problem, i am used to it already :)

Hi after 3 years :)

Found that setting in AppData\Roaming\Winamp\winamp.ini

Created a windows service that looks for changed event on the file and replaces "minimized=1" with "minimized=0"

If anyone has this annoyance too, mail me at: my user name at gmail.com
