well, ive discovered some new behavior in 4.1.10....
unlike previous versions, when i install or re-install 4.1.10 it will add the startup entry into the startup folder. ( I haven't looked at the shortcut properties, tho), but if I move the reg entry from common startup to either HKLM/HKCU startup i see the checkbox stays checked in lw, and whether or not i delete each and every startup entry relating to lw, regardless of which HK its in, LW won't put the shortcut into common startup via the checkbox unless I reinstall. And whats worse... Once i move the entry from common startup to either HK, the start in tray switch doesnt survive. So ive tried via batch again, and something's wrong.... These are some ive tried:
A. start /abovenormal limewire.exe /startup -min /min -startup
B. start /abovenormal limewire.exe -startup /startup -min /min
C. start /abovenormal limewire.exe -startup
D. start /abovenormal limewire.exe
...and this is what happens:
A. & D. starts the splash screen way
B. & C. command window closes without launching the exe

....so now im off to reinstall for the 5th time.... grrr
