I can't claim that this will always work, but in my testing, it did. I would imagine if one of the creators of said annoying windows ever got their hands on this, it would cease to work, so don't count on it working forever.

HideWindow does just what its name implies, it hides windows. It
uses a couple of different API tricks to try to fool a window that
it's hiding into not know it's hidden. You can select between the
two methods. It either gives the window a new parent, one that's
hidden, or it sets a region to the window outside its displayable
area. The whole point of this exercise is to not hide normal
windows, you can just minimize those, but rather annoying
windows that don't want to be hidden.
