You might be able to achieve this with a utility call 'firedaemon'. If anyones successful, post a reply here!

I hate having the BlackBerry desktop manager start unless I tell it to! Why bother? Do you use a sync feature on it? Now the only time I run Desktop Manager is if am doing a backup...

Another way to not have it show, i.e. running but not in the systry would be to change it's startup option in msconfig...

I want it to run and I want it to sync when I connect it. What I don't want is on my system start up the desktop manager is open and then I have to minimize it to the tray. Or when I plug my phone in desktop manager desktop manager opens up. I'm used to activesync doing everything in th background and I'm trying to accomplish that.

While I have no ideas how to help you, I have mine in my Startup folder and simply minimize it, at least it doesn't crash in the background either like activestink does. I ended up formatting a hard drive because of activesync and it will be a cold day you know where before it gets near my computer again.

It's easy

Click Start, go to Programs, then in the Startup menu right-click the Desktop Manager shortcut and choose Properties. Click the dropdown where it says Run: and choose Minimized from the list and hit OK. The next time you reboot, Desktop Manager will start as a tray icon.

i've been wondering the same thing, and you had the answer.
