Emmanuel mentioned that Application processes can be hidden - except the Finder`s Desktop.

There seems to be three ways that I can see to achieve this.
1) Hide...
2) Setting visible property to false
3) Collapsing windows

For a simple test I tried:

tell application "iTunes"
launch
if the (count of windows) is not 0 then
set collapsed of every window to true
end if
end tell

This puts the iTunes window into the Dock.

I can`t seem to get the "Hide" and "Set visible property to false" to work however, and I think it`s because I`m not sure how to reference it properly. Finding the path for files and folders is easy, but how do you reference (find the path?) for a window?

Any suggestions?
