Executing application in "background"

I already posted my question here, but got no answer. I'll try to ask it in
a different way:

I want to execute an application in "Background" (invisible) in Win2k pro.
The application invokes other applications and I want them to be invisible
also, so I can't just hide my application's main window.

I can do it in Win2k server, under a Terminal Server in a session, and it
works ok. But I want a similar behavior in Win2k pro without Terminal
Server. I'm trying to achieve this by running it in another Window Station.
It runs, but when I try to read screen contents in that Window Station, I
receive BLACK bitmaps. And IsWindowVisible on any window returns false.
Setting WS_VISIBLE doesn't help. It looks like windows knows that this
Window Station is not interactive, so it is invisible and just disables any
drawings. But I need to receive bitmaps from the screen...

Is it possible to execute it like in Terminal Session (where I receive all
the bitmaps and IsWindowVisible returns true), so it run normally but in the
"Background".

Thanks,
-Daniel.
