That is exactly what I want - my app is a standard Cocoa app with a few windows and a menu bar but it's used to launch other apps - so I don't want it showing up in the Command-Tab switch list, the Dock, or the Force Quit window. Mainly, I need my windows and menubar to still be visible.

Thanks,

Erg

Hi Erg,

The LSUIElement key prevents the app from appearing in the Dock or Force Quit dialog, but still allows these apps to show windows.  Is that what you want?
