Well, you can "trick" the system into allowing you to set the 
"Start minimized" button on a PM executable.  All you have to do 
is mis-spell the executable name in the "path and filename" 
section of the settings.  While the name is mis-spelled, go to 
the "Session" page and you will find the "Start minimized" button
is now selectable.  Select it, go back to the "Program" page and 
correct the spelling on the executable name.  If you go nback to 
the "session" page, you will see that the "Start minimized" 
section is once again greyed out, but that "Start minimized" is 
still selected.  If the PM exectuable honors the "Start
minimized" request, it will start minimized.  But not all PM 
executable honor this.
