u can do allsorts using api like findwindow, to get handle of processes by just their window title, then can sendmessage to them to minimise (some might only minimise to the taskbar, others may not show in taskbar at all)<br />

hi all ,<br />
<br />
i need to open an exe in vb.net inside my form , i was able to do it &nbsp;using shell or system.dignostics .<br />
<br />
The problem i have is that this exe opens up 3 more exe along with it &nbsp;so when i open the orginal exe inside my form the other 3 exe just opens in the taskbar .<br />
<br />
&nbsp;i &nbsp;tried to open the other three exe individually in hide mode &nbsp;even before opening the main exe so that when i open the main exe all other three exe will be in hide mode, but i was able to do just for one &nbsp;because the other two exe are bind together such that one opens the other one.<br />
<br />
please give me some suggestion to tackle this problem<br />

Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
