Even better, how to make a program automatically get minimized to the system tray when it starts. That way I could have my eudora email program automatically start with windows and get minimized to the system tray right away. There it could stay checking my email every 15 minutes!
 
Great huh?
Yeah I have tested some email checkers but none where any good to use I thought

OP
one problem i have with this is now when i shutdown my computer a message pops up saying all Microsoft Office Programs must be closed before the comp can be shut down & if i dont press ok & close it the End Task Window will pop up... is there a way to make the end task window automatcally end a task after a certain amount of time so i dont have to sit at my comp to wait for that screen to come up?

I believe you can change that in TweakUI or TweakXP. Don't remember which.
