External application in foreground

I have to start an external imaging application in the splash screen of my
application. But this external application appears in the foreground when
the main screen is displayed until I manually minimize the application.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Thanks

Using the ProcessStartInfo class, you can have the external application start
hidden or minimized.
