I need to open Thunderbird in hidden mode. I have tried various methods but none worked. I have write vba script: Dim WShell Set WShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WShell.Run """" & "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" & """", 0 Set WShell = Nothing

I have tried PowerShell: Start-Process -WindowStyle hidden "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"

And even the shortcut doesn't work when you select to run in minimized form.

Perhaps you could explain what hidden mode is? It is ok, I googled this windows scripting/ Powershell command and learned that the ,0 parameter is to invoke a hidden window style.

This is most certainly not the forum to get assistance with how this windows feature works, but I would guess that while the process start issues a hidden command of some sort it would not apply to windows opened by the process that is started.

What are you really trying to achieve here?
