Background mode

Can HB be run minimized. I seem to get problems unless I run it up, now I can have windows in front of it but if its minimized it seems to have problems moving and what not

I always select window mode and set it to the smallest resolution. But never minimize. just run programs over them and they work perfectly fine

When you need to see your desktop just right click your task bar and click Show desktop.

No, remember that AutoIt is a programming langue or interpreter langue to be exact.


Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Same metaphor can be used in this case.

Hello I think you're wrong

I do not agree ...

 

[Altoids]

I do not agree ...

You don't agree with who and for what reason? Just a suggestion, but writing a bit more might help us understand what you're trying to say.

BTW - what you replied to was almost 2 years old now... that would be called necro'ing a thread (bringing it back from the dead... lol)

I wanna join in! Running minimized wow is a bad idea, and HB won't allow it. Running HB minimized is a bad idea because it sends it o the system tray, makes it hard to hit stop so you might so something you don't want.
I am Necromancer? Can I haz cheezburger?
