so, basically if i put a shortcut to the .jar in my startup folder it will run 
minimized? Or is there something else i have to do?  I tried setting the 
properties of the shortcut to run minimized, but it doesnt work.

You need to run it with the -startMinimized parameter passed, so cd to the 
directory that the file RemoteDroidServer.jar is located and run something like:

java -jar RemoteDroidServer.jar -startMinimized

The windows shortcut that you create and place in the startup folder will need 
to run the above command. I'm not certain how to create windows shortcuts 
though, it may be a bit fiddly.

Thanks, I got it now.  Basically, i created a batch file with the line:

start c:\RemoteDroidServer\RemoteDroidServer.jar -startMinimized

and placed the batch file in my startup folder.  Works like a champ.
