Is this unintended "minimized launch" of a VB application a Pol Edit Issue, a shortcut issue, or a VB issue. I think I'm down to Pol Edit but I need advice. Here's the details.
I have a VB 5.0 / Access '97 App (We'll call this Main) that has been up and running for some time. I recently wrote a new EXE (We'll call this Check4Update) that resides on the user's machine that compares the version of "Main" on the user's hard drive with the version of "Main" stored on the server. If the versions are different, then the server version of the "Main" App is copied to the user's hard drive and launched for them from their own machine. This is working well.
The "Check4Update" EXE is launched from the user's Start Menu using a Link (shortcut) stored in the user's c:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs directory because the user's desktops are locked down. This "Check4Update" then uses "SHELL" to launch the "Main" application- wether or not the update was required or not.
We have both Win '95 and Win '98 user machines. Out of the 40+ users on my application, 3 launch the application minimized. Two of these are Win '98 and one is Win '95.
Is there a Pol Edit setting that could be causing these three PC's to launch the application minimized? I suspect the SHELL command has something to with it.
Thanks
