Minimized on open

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!
Rudy

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
Still the best player around!

fixed it

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

bye
