    Can someone tell me if (and how) there is a way to take an App that usually runs in a DOS window and make it run in the background - or if not in the background, make the minimized window hidden from the user (I realize that you can set the App to run as 'minimized' by using the 'Properties' option, but I would like to eliminate any presence of the app in the 'Start' bar). Any advice - thank you much!!!:-O

      You could make it a service. There's a couple of articles here on codeproject about that... - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"
