Hello everybody!

In my FIDOIN event I have a java script that I created that runs a couple of other things and tosses the mail, but when it runs it opens a normal sized window on the PC instead if being minimized. This seems to have started a few months ago and I can't figure out why. Anyone have a thought on this? It was minimized in the taskbar before.

Windows 11/64 Pro
Synchronet 3.21e

Thanks,
RickV

How do you have the FIDOIN event configured in SCFG?

Do you have Options = XTRN_MINIMIZED (likely with other option flags) in the [bbs] section of your ctrl/sbbs.ini file? This correlates with the "Minimize externals" checkbox in the SBBSCTRL->Terminal Server->Config dialog.

My cfg for FIDOIN is this

And I also un-commented the XTRN_MINIMIZE in th sbbs.ini, but it still oper the window in normal mode.

I also have that dialog box checked to "Minimize externals"
