Hide Applications In Windows

Some applications display an interface, program window or command line window if they are executed even though this is not needed for the program execution. It is usually possible to minimize the application window to the Windows system tray after it appeared on the computer screen but not before that is happening.

Hide App has been developed for exactly that purpose: To hide applications in Windows so that they do not display a program window upon execution. This obviously only makes sense if the program does not require some degree of user interaction as this wont be possible if Hide App is used.

Hide App is a portable software program that can be used in two different ways. The first option is to double-click the program executable which will show the following basic interface:

All that it takes to hide an application upon startup is to enter the path to that application in the form and to click on the ok button afterwards. The second option requires more work initially but saves time afterwards. This is usually a good method if the program that should be executed in hidden state is executed regularly.

It is possible to create a new program shortcut that uses the path to the application that should be executed in hidden state as a parameter.

Hide App is available at the developer’s website. It should be compatible with most versions of the Windows operating system.
