Then you get the window handle, and with ShowWindow(), in the second parameter use SW_HIDE.

Many "normal" people would just call it a conditional loop.

The compiler has less of an ideal of what you're doing, when you use gotos, and people who use them in place of functions might see a dramatic decrease of performance.
Plus it becomes impossible to...

Have you you tried compiling it, and reading the error reports? There's invalid operations, spelling mistakes, missing types, definitions where there shouldn't be, et al.

What is line 10, and 11?
main() must be able to return zero, and there really is no file called <iostream.h>, look it up.
Is getche() a typo, or do you really need it?

Take the initial time withtime(), use inside a loop take the time again, then use difftime() to check the diffrence between the two; if it's greater than the max time, break the loop.

Tell them to use it, and search for the char with '.'.

I saw people asking this, in Yahoo Answers last week.

I like this funnier leaning tree version(I don't have a life to be writing this stuff):
