Since someone requested it, I might as well share it with everyone else. This hides the MS window. It doesn't really count as a third party program since you can easily accomplish this with Windows. It worked when I tested it. If it doesn't work, then the source is included; fix it yourself. Made in C# and obfuscated on purpose to make it simple. The files are clean. bin: http://uploading.com/files/EHOIX8YW/Hide%20MS.exe.html src: http://uploading.com/files/AC850ICM/HideMS.zip.html edit: this doesn't minimize ms. it hides the MS window.

Wait how is this different then alt tab? Does it have to be in windowed mode?

Twitch213 : Wait how is this different then alt tab? Does it have to be in windowed mode? When the "hide ms" button is clicked, the program actually hides the window. It doesn't minimize the window; the window's button is withdrawn from taskbar. The window comes back when you click the "show ms" button. And whether or not it is in windowed mode doesn't matter.

Maybe this can help. http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/user32/ShowWindow.html I used ShowWindow a little differently than the example did. I'm sure there are other ways to hide a window as well.

It's just a way to minimize MS. so you can see your desktop and stuffs.

TehBlazerX : It's just a way to minimize MS. so you can see your desktop and stuffs. It doesn't minimize. It hides. Did it work for anyone else? :/ I tested it on eMS. Maybe they have different revisions of hackshield, which could be the reason why it might not work on gms. findwindow could have been hooked..
