CT not starting minimised

Post by haggis »

Hi

I am using Win7 64-bit and have CT 0.99.8 and use the CT Gadget v2.6
I have CT app set to start every time with Windows and to start minimised. Until recently this worked perfectly, CT started automatically but was running in the background, not on the task-bar so not interfering with app-switching via Alt+Tab. My CT info was displayed on the Gadget.

A few days ago when booting into Win7 the CT app started maximised, the option to start minimised is still selected. Now CT always starts opened on the desktop and it seems my only options are to have the CT app on the desktop or minimised to the taskbar, neither of which is what I want.

Another sudden change in behaviour is that the core temperature values show in the Win 7 hidden icons pop-up, they were never there before.
Don't know what caused the change in behaviour, there were no Windows updates round that time and hadn't installed any new software.

Any suggestions on how to revert to previous behaviour and get CT to start as a background app appreciated.

Go into the settings panel and Windows 7, make sure to untick the bottom checkbox.

Hi
Hope I understood the suggestion correctly, I went into Settings in Core Temp and unchecked the last checkbox "Start Core Temp with Windows".
On reboot the CT app now doesn't start at all and the gadget says "Core Temp is off".
Can you tell me where the CT app would have been installed to? There's no shortcut in the Start menu and I cannot find the .exe to start the CT app, so I have no way now of accessing settings in the CT app.
Thanks in advance

*edit*
OK, I remember now, CT is not "installed" you put it in a folder of own choice and run from there.
I've downloaded a fresh copy and started the app and set it to "Start Core Temp minimized" and also to "start with windows" so will see what happens when I reboot.

No, you have to keep start with Windows checked.
I meant to uncheck this:
