Not showing a form when an application runs

[RSH]

I'm sure this is a basic question but how do I get an application to run but
not show a Form until I'm ready to show it?

The application uses this code:
static void Main()

{

Application.EnableVisualStyles();

Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(fals e);

Application.Run(new Form1());

}

I tried to remove the new Form1() call but obviously this doesn't work.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Ron

If you change the the ShowInTaskbar property to false and change the
WindowState property to Minimized, then the result should be no form
displaying when the application starts.
