.SYNOPSIS
Hide a window
.DESCRIPTION
Hide a window by handle or by process name. Hidden windows are gone: they don't show up in alt+tab, or on the taskbar, and they're invisible. The only way to get them back is with ShowWindow.
Windows hidden by Hide-Window are pushed onto a stack so they can be retrieved by Show-Window. Since they're invisible, they're very hard to find otherwise.
