Released version 3.3 of HideItX
New Feature:
Added -starthide command
A recent bug in the FAH3 console exe program required a new command because the console title isn't exposed to the Windows OS when it is started. First it has to be started, then minimized... this allows the title to be seen by Windows. To get around this problem, HideItX will now start and hide at the same time. This does make it impossible for HideItX to show the window again, but hopefully that isn't a problem. I have informed Stanford about this problem and they are aware of it. Hopefully it will be fixed in the future. The example below shows how to use this new command.
I hope this helps those that have had a problem with this. :D

Instructions for HideItX:
If you simply run HideItX you will see the instructions below.
You can put a shortcut to HideItX in your startup folder to start a program when Windows starts. Put a space between the command and the program info. If you are hiding, showing, or stopping a program, be sure to put the exact title of the process (Upper and lowercase letters don't matter)
Startup Commands :
-start......Starts any listed client. (use full path info)
-starthide..Starts any listed client. (use full path info)
-hide.......Hides all open listed client windows.
-delete.....Deletes any file. (use full path info)
-stop.......Shuts down all listed clients.
-show.......Shows all listed client windows currently running.
-yespill....Restores UD's icon to system tray.
-nopill.....Removes UD's icon from system tray.
-help.......Shows the Help message box.
-delay......Puts an X second delay before next command is executed.
Examples:
-start c:\Program Files\F@H2\FAH2Console.exe
-starthide c:\Program Files\F@H3\FAH3Console.exe
-start c:\Program Files\Genome@Home\GHClient.exe -nonet
-hide FAH2Console
-delete C:\Program Files\Distributed Folding Project\foldtrajlite.lock
-nopill (nothing else, UD specific)
-stop FAH2Console
-delay 5 (delays for 5 seconds)
Example of a Multi-Command line:
-start c:\Program Files\United Devices\ud.exe;-delay 2;-nopill
Since UD has some unique problems associated with trying to manipulate it, I have had to add 2 more unique commands that are UD specific.
-hide UD
-show UD
