And I can even have Mp3ag pinned permanently to my Taskbar - which was another step further in my equation ` ` ` ` But going this way [i.e. with such BAT] in order to complete this whole shebang I would somehow need now to tell Mp3tag to **A]** always minimize itself before closing whenever I close it- and no mater if with the X icon or of its window or with the close option from the menu available for it on the Taskbar or **B]** always start minimized The first option would do the trick - with the exception of cases when Mp3tg would not close properly [like when an operating system hang up]. But that would be logical and not that big of a problem The second option would seem to be a better one- but not for all those those cases when I would need to actually see the Mp3tag window being maximized. And that would be a big problem because I need to see it maximized 99% of the time ` ` ` ` **Or all of the above can be irrelevant** ` ` ` ` If the user could configure Mp3tag to start up with the system in minimized form - or to start in some pre-state [with being visible only in the Tray area] and loading up playlists files or folders Because all that I am after is the ability to load up faster my files; or at least some of them [the ones that I use the most often]. A concept of pre-loading files and of / or Library in this mater has been already explored by me [REQUEST: pre-load of files](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/request-pre-load-of-files/19265/). The conclusion was, that Library will not help in that matter ` ` ` ` What really does the job done is the reading of files from the drives thus putting them in RAM - because reading them again later on during workflow is much faster I now have a new machine now with the fastest M.2 NVMe drives I could find on the market [one for system and the other for audio files] - and I am simply disappointment with how little speed I have gained on the account of switching from using SSD drives. Maybe I still need to somehow unblock their potential, but it the basic prinicapal is this: when I load the files first time, the read up is slow - and when I load the same files the second time, then the read up is fast And so **an ability to preload my files either with a workaround BAT / PS1 file or with a totally new Mp3tag option would take care of this - but it would have to be performed in the background** [i.e. without bringing focus to Mp3tag window or even opening it in the first place]. Because opening Mp3tag is rarely the first thing that I do when entering Windows - but opening it at some point is very likely. And so if my files could be automatically waiting in Mp3tg [with the software not being brought to my attention before that] then that would be a real time saver --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/system-startup-opens-mp3tag-in-maximized-windows-instead-of-minimized-form/47864)._
