( this is a rather 'simplified' wrap )

Check out my 'tutorial' engines.
Depending on which version you have, it's either Tutor3.exw,
... or WinTutor.exw. [ in my latest 'beta' ]
It uses shellExecute() for *everything*...
My address7.zip also uses shellExecute() to start an e-mail...

...and Kat, you might try shellExecute() with the following flag.

SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE -- Displays the window as a minimized window. The active
window remains active.

...haven't tried it, but if a program opened this way actually *does*
anything while it's minimized, I suppose this is what you might be looking
for.
