That is most unexpected. Can you repeat the problem? If so, please let
me know which VM version you are using so I can try to recreate it.

Looks like your VM might be to old. You might want to try 3.9.2 from
http://www.squeakvm.org/win32/release

There is currently no option that *completely* hides Squeak except if
you run it as a service.

Recompile the VM and change the window attributes. That would be my
answer (and it's not too hard - download the build tools, install them,
download the source release, recompile, go).
