Minimize ICQ

Corinthian
Is it possible to minimize ICQ from a. bat file ? Or are there any programs that can minimize ICQ from command line ? The reason for why I want to do this is because I activate myHTPC (a HTPC frontend) from my remote control, but ICQ always shows on top of it when not minimized.

DVD software vs XP

Brian Frank
I can't figure it out: all the software DVD players I'm using on my latest PC build are either displaying the DVD picture bigger than what can be seen (it's like it's zooming in and can't be unzoomed) or crashes out.
