title: Problem hiding Internet Explorer in WatiN, even when using Settings.Instance.MakeNewIeInstanceVisible = false
body: <p>This question is more of a follow-up to this one:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1555331/hiding-internet-explorer-when-watin-is-run" title="Hiding Internet Explorer when WatiN is run">Hiding Internet Explorer when WatiN is run</a></p>
  
  <p>Like the person who asked that original question, I also want to stop IE from being shown when my WatiN tests are running, but even when using this setting in a seemingly correct manner (code snippet below), it still ends up showing an empty IE window initially (although it does not show the test behavior/web page interaction).</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to stop the window from showing at all, or is this as good as it gets?</p>
  
  <p>My helper method to create a new IE instance: </p>
  
  <pre><code>public static IE CreateNewBrowserInstance(string url = DefaultAppUrl)
      {
          Settings.Instance.MakeNewIeInstanceVisible = false;
          Settings.Instance.AutoMoveMousePointerToTopLeft = false;
          Settings.Instance.AutoStartDialogWatcher = false;
  
          return new IE(url, true);
      }
  </code></pre>
