Curseforge can be added to AutoStart on Windows with its settings. So, every time Windows starts, cursefore window is shown on the desktop. But by default, I’d like to have this window minimized to the Windows system tray automatically. But curseforge does not have a corresponding start parameter like “--start-to-sys-tray” or “--minimize”. For future release I’d like so see this feature implemented.

That's a really handy feature to have! It keeps CurseForge readily available without cluttering your desktop on startup. While we can't directly implement that feature request here, you've clearly identified a useful improvement for the application.
For now, since CurseForge doesn't have a built-in command-line option for minimizing to the system tray on startup, achieving this would likely involve using third-party tools or scripting. These tools can often monitor application launches and then automate actions like minimizing their windows.
It's a great idea to suggest this directly to the CurseForge development team. They often have feedback channels or forums where users can submit feature requests. Your suggestion is well-reasoned and addresses a specific user need for a cleaner startup experience. Hopefully, they'll consider implementing it in a future release!
