Run application without showing in the start-menu-bar

Is there a way to run my autoit scripts without showing it as a running application in the start-menu-bar (i don't know what it is called) ?

Is there a way to run my autoit scripts without showing it as a running application in the start-menu-bar (i don't know what it is called) ?

The task bar I think.

The way I have seen this done is based on the following logic.

Hidden windows aren't shown, and child windows aren't shown, a child need not be hidden even if it's parent is.

Opt("TrayIconHide",1);don't show icon in tray

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <windowsconstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("hide", 52, 15, 193, 125)
;GUISetState(@SW_SHOW);don't show it
$form2 = GUICreate("child of hidden",300,300,200,200,-1,-1,$Form1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

If it is the icon in the system tray, then add the below at the top of your script

#NoTrayIcon

Thanks! But for me, the only thing i needed to do was to add $hide = GUICreate("hide") and ,$hide in the end of the hidden gui. (don't know why. I added this script to Digi's splash )
