How did you create it? Using py2exe? Use windows=your_program.py instead  
of console=... in your setup script.

Try renaming your main script to have a .pyw extension as Diez said,
or use the --windows option when running py2exe.

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

You can do this with:

import win32process

STARTUPINFO=win32process.STARTUPINFO()
STARTUPINFO.dwX=0
STARTUPINFO.dwY=0
STARTUPINFO.dwXSize=800
STARTUPINFO.dwYSize=600
execute_target="enter program to run here"
commandLine=None
processAttributes=None
threadAttributes=None
bInheritHandles=0
dwCreationFlags=0
currentDirectory=None
#
# Start the program
#
win32process.CreateProcess(execute_target,
   commandLine,
   processAttributes,
   threadAttributes,
   bInheritHandles,
   dwCreationFlags,
   newEnvironment,
   currentDirectory,
   STARTUPINFO)

Hi Diez,

I forgot to mention that i have created a Windows executable of the
script.
What i want is to run the application minimized in the system tray or
totally hidden.

I'm not exactly sure what you  mean here, but I guess you want the
command-window suppressed. You can do so by naming your scripts *.pyw,
which will invoke pythonw.exe instead. That has no command-window.
