{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //Hide your windows forms application
            this.Hide();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Thread.Sleep(5000);//5s
            MessageBox.Show("You can't see me !", "Message", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
