RE: Can run.exe be packaged separately from X?

["DePriest, Jason R." <jrdepriest at ftb dot com>]

Check the properties of your shortcut.

On the 'Shortcut' tab look at the entry in the 'Run:' field.

It should say 'Normal window' but probably says 'Minimized'.

Thanks!

When I first played with rxvt two months ago I tried a similar shortcut
and found that this started a DOS window as well that could not be
killed
without killing the rxvt window.  This was in line with what some of the
documentation predicted - and the same documentation suggested using run
to take care of the problem.  That's how I got into using run.

Now I have tried your shortcut and it works without creating a DOS
window.
There is the slight disadvantage that the window does not pop up but 
starts out parked in the task bar.  Does this happen for you?
