I have a Desktop shortcut to take me to a radio station that simulcasts
programming.
http://www.1190kex.com/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st
Is there anything that can be added to the link to auto-minimize the
webpage?
If yes, what would it be?
Remember, its radio; just sound. No need for a monitor display.
Many thanks,

Hi Don,
I just created a desktop shortcut to a local HTM web page file, and right
click Properties, Shortcut(tab), and in the Run box, changed Normal window
to minimized, and clicked OK. Without any Internet Explorer windows open, I
double clicked the shortcut and it opened the page minimized on the taskbar
as expected. I then maximized the window, clicked a link on that page to
another local disk page, then activated the desktop shortcut again, and it
opened in a 2nd instance of IE, but also maximized, not minimized. I could
only get it to open minimized if no other IE windows were already open.
I checked Folder Options> File Types for HTM "Open" command, and the DDE
section has "Topic: WWW_OpenURLNewWindow", and an asterisk in the "DDE
Application Not Running" box. When IE is not running the file opens
minimized, but when running, it opens maximized in a new window. In Internet
Options> Advanced, there is a checkmark before "Reuse windows for launching
shortcuts", but that applies to clicking links in applications, not double
clicking shortcut link files.
Following Twayne's suggestion, I clicked Start> Help and Support, and
entered "scripts" in the search box, clicked "Download Windows Script Host
samples", and arrived at the following link. No samples, but Tools link
worked.

This sample VBS looks promising:

[VBScript code after this line:]
Dim objIE
Set objIE = WScript.CreateObject ("InternetExplorer.Application")
objIE.Toolbar = false
objIE.statusbar=false
objIE.Navigate "http://www.microsoft.com";
objIE.Visible = true
