Is there a command line option to start alcohol.exe minimised to the system tray?

I'm sure that simply starting alcohol.exe (trial version) used to do this in the past; I had a shortcut in my startup folder, and it would run on a reboot, without the GUI appearing. This stopped working for me, about a year ago, so I've rushed to ask here. :-)

Bad form to reply to my own post, but I may have found the answer myself.

Firstly, it's Alcohol 52%, not the trial version. I get these confused, sorry.

I suspect that selecting "Autostart Alcohol 52% when Windows starts" is what I have used in the past. I've checked this now.

However, I prefer to autostart most processes with my own startup script at boot time. I have so many tasks to start that the PC gets bogged down if everything autostarts, and it's important to me that my browser is usable as soon as possible after a reboot.

... and I found the /startup option in HKCU/Run. Are there other command-line options? Are they in the help anywhere (I looked there first, honestly!)

I think that you may be asking for too much ,anyway in order to receive support you must post your system report from within Alcohol first (have a look at the pinned topic "Please read before posting").
