want to run AHP at startup, and minimized
« on: June 14, 2006, 02:24:50 PM »

I have searched and been unable to find a way to load AHP at startup and have it automatically run minimized.  AHP is installed on my (elderly) parents' computer in New York so that I can monitor them via iWitness and MyHouse from my home in Kansas.  If their computer goes down, I'd like to have AHP back up and running in background with a simple restart/reboot.  Any suggestions, or have I missed something embarrassingly simple?  BTW, their system is running XP.  Thanks!

It is possible to have AHP load when the computer starts! Someone left me instructions here. I'll try to find it and post a link.
It won't work if you have the computer setup with a login, however.

Here's the answer I got.

Easy. Add Active Home Pro to your startup group. 
Hmm... I thought I remembered how to do this but I guess not. I have Windows XP. Would you guide me in the right direction to do this?
there are a few ways to do this click "start" then "all programs" then right click "startup" click "open" then create a short cut to AHP and close
