Having problem with cpwizard and malalauncher

[dungbeetle46]

I have cpwizard set to start with malalauncher and have mala shelled in my cab

now mala starts fine then cpwizard starts and stays ontop of my layout.
cpwizard doesnt minimise and running in a cab with only buttons there is no way to minimise it and mala wont work while cpwizard is on top

any ideas how to get cpwizard to load first before my layout

I have tried run as service, then cpwizard doesnt work at all

I have set cpwizard to launch minimised which it does if launched by double clicking cpwizard.exe but when malalauncher launches it, it wont minimise

any ideas

Works fine for me. I think CPW has a "-minimized" option or something like that which you need to put on the command line of your shortcut. I can double check that later if you don't get it straightened out first.

Not sure what you mean here. Do you want me to check my usage? Sorry for the delay... was busy this weekend reveling in the Steelers win.

whats happening is sometimes when my cab starts,  i will see cpwizard starts then mala starts and hides cpwizard.
other times mala starts first then cpwizard starts over the top of it (see pic) and the only way to go back to the mala screen is to click the mouse on the mala screen which is inconvenient in a cocktail cab.

Sounds like you don't have "-minimized" in your shortcut target. It's up to CPWizard to launch minimized, and that's what that command line parameter is for. MaLaLauncher has no control over the layer order of windows. It's just a process launcher.

From explorer you can double-click your shortcut to test it. If it launches as a window you have the shortcut set up wrong. If it launches minimized to the tray then you have it set up right.
