Sticky Notes - Stop Startup Display or Start Minimized?

Anyone figured out a way to stop Win 11 Sticky Notes from resuming display (all open notes) on the screen at Login? I like the App, but I'd prefer it not be "in my face" when I logon.

The only way I've been able to stop it from happening is to manually "Close All Windows" before shutdown using Right-Click on a pinned taskbar icon or to manually close each individual note. You can also just kill it in services but I'm guessing that's not great for database integrity.

I can't find it starting up via Task Manager, Autoruns, Task Scheduling, etc. It has a bunch of entries in the Registry, but nothing obvious like a Run sort of key to start it up that I see.

There are lots of suggestions that I googled up but none of them seem to work.

in your start menu, scroll down to sticky notes and drag it to your desktop to create a shortcut. cut that shortcut and paste it in:

%\AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

*This is to avoid any conflicts with new version numbers after the app updates

once that shortcut is there, use the attached autohotkey script that i converted to exe for you already. you can place it in Shell:startup to make it launch at boot. it will launch sticky notes, wait 2 seconds (so all notes can load), then minimize the app to the taskbar. the contents of the exe are below, in case you'd rather compile the script yourself. there are 2 in the zip i attached, 1 with the yellow icon and one with the dark icon. both do that same thing.

Thanks a bundle. I will implement this and update the thread!
