MATLAB: Minimizing MATLAB windows while running

Image Processing Toolboximage seriesminimizing

In my code, series of images are being processed and at each stage I have to show different figures in several windows, but as you know while running each window comes up and prevents you from doing your other things with your PC while running.
Is it possible to ask MATLAB to minimize all the windows (while running), so that the user can do his other things meanwhile?
Thanks so much.
