Summary: To minimize the MS-DOS Executive window, you first need to get the handle to this window. To get the handle to the MS-DOS Executive window, you need to use the EnumWindows function call and search for the string “MS-DOS Executive”. Once you obtain this handle, you can make a ShowWindow call with the handle to the MS-DOS Executive window and either the SW_MINIMIZE, SW_SHOWMINIMIZED, or SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE flag. For information on these flags, please refer to Page 479 of the “Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Programmer’s Reference” manual.
