ABOUT / USAGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HIDDEN allows you to start any program so that its main window will not
appear.  This is a useful program in cases where you want to keep certain
programs running, but you do not need to interact with them.  Having their
main window invisible will help unclutter your desktop.

To use HIDDEN, simply run the HIDDEN executable (Hidden.exe) with the
program you wish to execute passed as a command-line parameter.  For
example, if you wanted to run a hidden copy of Notepad, you would do this:

  HIDDEN NOTEPAD.EXE

You can pass command-line parameters to the program you wish to start by
just appending the parameters to the program's filename:

  HIDDEN NOTEPAD.EXE C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI

That's it!

WARNING: Once a program has been started in a hidden state, it is not an
easy task to make it visible.  Do not start any program in an invisible
state unless you are certain you do not need to interact with it!
