title: Hide progress of Invoke-WebRequest
body: <p>How can I hide the progress display of <code>Invoke-WebRequest</code>? I do a lot of successive requests and have my own <code>Write-Progress</code> display that I use, so I don't need the built-in one popping up underneath it every time.</p>
  
  <p>I use the mshtml results (the IE COM object) that are created from the result of <code>Invoke-WebRequest</code> automatically, so I can't switch to a <code>WebClient</code> or something like that, unless someone provides instructions on how to get an mshtml object from a WebClient request.</p>
