How to start iTunes Minimized?

Question

Hello, I am trying to get iTunes to start minimized when I start it. I have it set on my main computer to share the library so I can get to it from other machines, so I'd like it to pretty much run all the time.
I've set iTunes to minimize to the system tray, and then I set a shortcut in the Startup section of the Start Menu. Then (using the properties selection), I set the shortcut to start "Minimized".
However, iTunes doesn't seem to listen to the shortcut, and starts in full window mode...
Is there a way to get iTunes to start minimized? Or, better yet, is there a way to have it run its sharing as a windows service?
thanx!

Cool!
However, I'm having a small issue with the script... I copied and pasted, and had to do some small editing to make it run right. Now it's running, but then after iTunes comes up, I get an error box that says:
Windows Script Host
Script: c:\bak\StartiTunes.vbs
Line: 13
Char: 1
Error: 0x80041021
Code: 80041021
Source: (null)
And I'm not exactly sure what that means...
Here's the contents of my script:
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run """C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe""", 2
wscript.sleep 3000
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'iTunes.exe'")
For Each objProcess in colProcessList
foobar = split (objProcess.Name, ".")
WshShell.AppActivate ( foobar(0) )
WshShell.SendKeys("%( )") '//equivalent of Alt+spacebar
WshShell.SendKeys("n") '//equivalent of n key
Next
