Minimizing a Loaded Application and More

[zzzfilesk1]

Hi, this is my first post on this forum. I am teaching myself VB, so bare with me.

For my first application, I am writing something called Ignition.exe.

I intend for this program to autoload at startup. The program will load a bunch of programs I use often, but not every day. This way, I do not have to go through and manually load them all.

Some programs I want to load on certain parts of the screen.
Other programs I want to be minimized after loading.

I've scoured the web and I'm at a dead end, I could use some help.

You will see I used the Process.Start function to load a program. The gadget is what I want to appear on my desktop, it is fed data by the Core Temp.exe. Hence, after I load Core Temp, I want to minimize it, as it is not necessary on the desktop. So, pretty simple right? How do I minimize it?

My next question may prove more difficult. If I want the gadget to load on the top left corner of my screen, how would I code that?

Thanks

Here is my code so far:
----------------------------------
Module Module1

Sub Main()



MsgBox("Would you like to Ignite?", vbYesNo, "Ignition")
If MsgBoxResult.Yes Then


Process.Start("K:\Program Files\Core Temp\Core Temp.exe")


Process.Start("K:\Program Files\Core Temp\CoreTempGadget2.7.gadget")

Else
MsgBox("Okay, So Long!", vbOKOnly, "Ignition")

End If



End Sub

End Module
----------------------------

Use the overload of Process.Start that takes a ProcessStartInfo object as an argument and set its WindowStyle property to Minimized.
