That does not quite sound like the right error message. Are you sure its not something like "Cannot create shell notification icon?"
Otherwise I cant imagine what "Shell not found" means. In UNIX this might have some meaning not in windows though.
To answer your specific question though, the command line parameter required is simply "/s" ie in the "Target" field of the shortcut properties put "C:\alltalk\AllTalk.exe" /s. You must also turn off the "Enable Scheduler at startup" check box from the Scheule dialog.
I will assume that this is actually the problem, but if it isn't then the rest of this response may not be too helpful.
The reason for the Shell Notification Icon error is to do with the computer being too busy to respond to windows messages on start up. It might be worth checking what else is starting on logon - perhaps more than 1 copy of AllTalk???
If the computer is too busy to response to Shell Icon Notify events though, I am not sure puting a shortcut in "Start In" will help.
A footnote: Alltalk will work fine despite this error. There is just not method for restoring it and it has to be stopped using the Task Manager.

Hi Glen,
I have a customer who is receiving an 'Alltalk Shell not found' error
on startup.
If I want Alltalk to startup via the 'Programs\Startup' what are the
commandline paramaters to startup scheduled and minimized?
regards,
Rodney
