Teamviewer has a service and a program. This will close the program on system login of any user within a few seconds of login, the service will still be running and in the system tray, not instantaneous but faster then user system startup folder.

How to make the batch file:

• Open Start.
• Search for Notepad
• Open, write script

@echo off taskkill /IM "TeamViewer.exe" /F 

• save as
• start-min-teamviewer.bat
• click "save type as" and change to All Files (*.*)
• Save to: C:\Users\NetworkAdmin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
• Or your own location

Create task scheduler (faster then startup folder).

Press the Windows + R keys, (opens run Run), and then type taskschd.msc

• On the right click create task

• Name: Teamviewer Minimize To Tray (in the example its just minteam)

• Tick Run with highest privileges

• In the trigger window, set to At login of any user

• Under actions tab: New--> Start a program --> "C:\Users\NetworkAdmin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\start-min-teamviewer.bat" into the program\script box
• OK
• Ok done.
• Logoff, Logon, and should close within a few seconds of opening.
