need manual minimization?  ;-)

If you have a shortcut to it in your Startup folder, just right-click
the shortcut and select Properties. Then in the run line, select
Minimized.

It will then always start in the system tray.

2) sometimes SetiDriver does not Auto Transmit ... despite that option being
checked.  It will sit with a red icon in systray ... forever ... until I
restore/expand the program and force a transmit. Why is this?

Try deleting the "Seti Driver.cfg" file, open Seti Driver and click the
Save Config button.
