The setting in 'Preferences->General->Mimimize on system start' refers to starting ut minimized when windows starts, not when the user opens ut by clicking. To manually start minimized, you can try opening from command line with the /MINIMIZED option Very strange logic. Release 2.2 1 works well for me. I do not want uT to start with windows 2.2.1 does not. When I open 2.2.1 it opens to the tray MINIMIZED as it is suppose to. I do not use any command line option to force it to open to the tray only. It just amuses me how you can put out a flawed product and then blame the user. It appears I will be using 2.2 1 for a long time as it does work as programed. To repeat for the slow devs here. When I click on the Icon to start 2.2 1, utorrent does indeed start in the tray, the UI is NOT opened. If you like I can send you another video??/
