The program is in the Winnt directory, I think it is called Taskman.exe? Make a shortcut to it, properties on the shortcut, specify Minimize. Place it in the Startup folder for you appropriate profile. They move he profiles again, it is not off of the root dir, do a Find and search for "Statup"

Theres a "Taskman.exe" in /WINNT /WINNT/SYSTEM32 and in the dll cache dir
 
Just loading them from command line doesnt seem to do anything

Ok Here it is!
 
Location of EXE:
C:\WINNT\system32\taskmgr.exe
 
Location of Startup Folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs
 
Change the properties of the Shortcut to Minimized and voila!
