Thanks for help. The test is working. But I'm a beginner and I have troubles implementing this on my actual project. I'm using SingleInstanceController at Program.cs in order to prevent opening the same app twice (forced single instance). Because of that, the simple ShowWithoutActivation doesn't work.

This app works in 2 main stages:
1. The app starts minimized, then it reads the arguments (file paths), then it displays those arguments in a listbox, then it waits.
2. If it's started again, it gets other arguments (actually just one), rename the files from stage 1, then it quits.

Basically it's a file (picture) arranger: the user selects the files to be renamed (stage 1) and the target file after those files will be placed through auto-renaming (stage 2). Like this: FileArranger - Streamable[^] Each stage means a launch of this app.

I want this app to stay minimized and without focus during its whole "lifetime". Of course, except when the user activates it by clicking its taskbar button. I uploaded the whole project here: MEGA[^] This app has around 300 LOC (MainForm.cs + Program.cs). Please, could you modify it in order to start without focus? That would be very helpful.
