Open windows explorer to path and hide (not minimize)
Scenario:
Open windows explorer to path \\folder\subfolder\subfolder and hide it. (not minimize)
We use a process the toolbox to open with the startinfo: filename {C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe} and argument {/C start "" /Min “\\folder\subfolder\subfolder"} but I can only minimize it and not HIDE the window.
When interrogating C:Windows\explore.exe it opens the folder/path and interrogation stops automatically.
(I was going to start it then Hide the window with a hide method this way)

Do you know if I am making a mistake or forgetting something?

You cannot interrogate Windows Explorer. What are you trying to accomplish by interrogating it? Most everything that I have come across can be done with simple File manipulation in C# inside a script.

Thanks Thomas,
I just needed to confirm I should use an alternate way to hide than using an adapter.
PS. It has been a long time since you trained me at Covenant years ago.
