Hi Larry,

The thing is, i don't want to see anything of my program, just the
launched program.
I already have the program working. But when i create an executable of
it with py2exe and start it, i don't want to see that it is running,
perhaps just in the systemtray. That is my problem.

thanks!
Jeroen
