Disable launch of front panel when starting web services

No.  This is related to web services and the behavior of those services when on the debug port.  In order to see this, you need 1) a project containing a web service with VIs associated with that web service and 2) it looks like you need to be debugging down on an embedded system.

Maybe you can turn on VI server for the target and minimize everything. Something like this:

I am not certain if I follow this - how does this relate to web services?  It seems you have a completely different mechanism for starting/stopping web services that is not related to VI server.

Since I didn't see a way to prevent all the windows from opening, I was trying to propose that you build a tool to minimize all the windows that you'd run after you had deployed the webservice.

Thanks, Oligarlicky.  Unfortunately, web services don't run under VI server - they are their own application instance.

All of that being said, I found my answer through discussions with the AEs.  It turns out that when you select Start, what you are actually doing is asking the system to "Deploy All", which, in the RT system, will generally result in the the showing of all FPs in the folder.  The AE I am discussing this with is likely going to file a CAR on this but is currently trying to figure out if there is a work around for this.
