You want to open a drawing but you don't want to see it?

like for instance, like are before i log on the web ....
i usually open up like 6 dwgs ..... than i minimize it ....
right after it uploads, it pops up with dwgs than i have to minimize again and than again than again ....

Run your browser in a virtual machine and you won't have the problem.

I was kidding. I don't think you want to be running two instances of Windows at the same time as your system would suffer a performance hit unless it is robust to begin with.

It's called "stealing focus" and the way to prevent it is discussed in this article...

performance is the least of my problems ...
but opening up the files while doing other things is annoying ...
