Temporarily minimize Automation?

Does anyone know if you can minimize Automation while its running? So far all i've found is to CTRL+ALT-DELETE and that screws up the game, forcing me to close it for being unresponsive.
It would be nice to minimize it without crashing, such as when i'm looking at a webpage to replicate an engine IRL or to look at the specs for a contest for example.
