Hi Severin, Not all applications can be launched hidden. The checkbox is intended mainly for faceless background utilities that can be launched and run in the background. iTunes is simply not such an application. The iTunesHelper can be hidden. Normally installers that create a login item or programs that have the option preference of adding to the login items list will set the hidden flag if it's appropriate. >From the user's point of view, however, you can try hiding a login item but it >will only work if the application is capable of being started in the >background.
