&nbsp;Is there a way to have FBCMD start up as minimized? &nbsp;I know there's a workaround of creating a shortcut, setting the shortcut to run mimized and then pointing the scheduled task to the shortcut, but I'd much prefer a direct way. &nbsp;Thanks.

Hi Russell,   
  
 We don’t have any options to control the console window.
