Open Spotify to tray on start up

[fish21]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with a script for Spotify please?

When the option 'open minimized' is selected in the settings of the app, it still opens op on windows boot in a minimized windows.

I would like it to boot into tray only.

I have the script below but this does not work (entirely). It does prevent the window from opening but the app still pops up as an opened application on the taskbar.

if WinExist("Spotify Premium") WinClose ; Use the window found by WinExist.

Anyone could help me with this?

Thank you

PostMessage, WM_SYSCOMMAND := 0x0112, SC_CLOSE := 0xF060

runApp(family, appID := "") {
 Loop, Files, % StrReplace(A_AppData, "Roaming", "Local\Packages\*" family "*"), D
  RunWait, % "explorer shell:appsFolder\" A_LoopFileName "!" (appID = "" ? family : appID)
}

An alternative function is below.

  If !FileExist(out)
   RunWait, powershell -NoProfile -Command & {get-appxpackage > %out%},, Hide ; Create file about packages
  FileRead, packages, %out%                                                   ; Info about Windows packages
  RegExMatch(packages, "InstallLocation   : \K.*?" appName ".*", dir)         ; App's directory
  If !(dirExist := FileExist(dir)) && A_Index = 1 && pkgExisted               ; If file existed & no dir

 } Until !pkgExisted || dirExist                                              ; Stop if dir found or no pkg
 If !dirExist
  Return
 RegExMatch(packages, "PackageFamilyName : \K.*?" appName ".*", family)       ; App's family name
 FileRead, appInfo, %dir%\AppxManifest.xml                                    ; Info about the app
