I have a utility which organizes the positions of desktop icons.
(It`s a .dll extension for explorer.) But the only way to switch
profiles is through the desktop's right-click menu > Icon Keeper
> Select Active Profile > Profiles name. So I want to switch that
profiles using hotkey manager (like through the Windows Run) by
the following manner: myapplication.exe -profilename. 
Myapplication is assumed to have no window.
1. How to create application without window at all?
2. How can I pass "-someoption" into the application?
3. How access desktop's right-click menu items to simulate click
action?

Please give me directions how to act.
Sorry for my English and Thank You.
