Hide future windows of a process

[e-miel]

Hello,
Is it possible to hide all future windows of a process?

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum!

Code: Select all

Loop {
 WinWait, ahk_exe notepad.exe
 WinHide
 MsgBox, Hidden
}

Thanks for your answer, but with your code, the new window is visible then it disappears.
Is there any way that the window is already hidden when it is created, or at worst, that it is created in the background and then hidden? The goal is to hide every white splash screen.

The process that creates the splash screens is already running, so there is no need to wait for process starts.

You could always create a shortcut for each app (or modify an existing one) to run the application minimized.

Thanks for your answer.
Your minimized shortcut trick works with PhotoFiltre but does not work with Firefox, GoogleEarth, GIMP, Inkscape.
