How to minimize the screen in order to run 3rd party program

[Carl27]

I am running Prepar3D on a 3 projector system. After I load Prepar3D,
how can I minimize the screen after Prepar 3D has load in order to run my ActiveSky program?

Does 'Alt+Spacebar' then 'n' work for you? Take you back to the desktop?

I seem to remember from the old FSX days, that you start Active Sky first, then the sim.

You are correct Jorgan. You should start ActiveSky 6 first (and close last) but I think Carl wants to be able to then select the running Active sky and have it displayed on top of his surround outside view.

In my case, I have the bottom task bar visible on one of my four outside monitors and can select the Acive Sky icon from there.

Thank you for the suggestions. I will give it a try.
Again thanks,

Aactive Sky can be started before or after P3D is started.

Of course, you can start ActiveSky later but, if you have ActiveSky live weather saved in your default scenario, and you want to have your aircraft appear at your gate your current outside weather, QNH, etc., it naturally follows to start ActiveSky weather first.
