Silently execute an exe at startup

[Mushtaque Nizamani]

I have got C# windows application exe and want to execute that silently at startup can anyone please tell me how to do that?

Thanks, Mushq

by silently you mean that it should not show up in the taskbar. If yes, then you can look for creating a windows service.

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

To run program at startup you can use this code: Managing Start-up[^] To execute is silently make your form invisible.

Sorry, it is not working, I have called it in InitializeComponent(), but it is not working, I don't know what am I doing wrong.

It won't Call it when the form loads or is shown very first time. Alternatively, you can start your form minimized and set its showintaskbar property to false. Hope it helps.
