Thanks, Carsten,

this works, added to my .emacs:

(defun custom-org-cycle-hide-hidden-subtrees (state)
  "temporarily set archive tag to 'HIDE', then hide archived subtree"
  (let ((org-archive-tag "HIDE"))
    (org-cycle-hide-archived-subtrees state)))
;; add function to be called when cycling takes place: hides subtrees with "HIDE" tag
(add-hook 'org-cycle-hook 'custom-org-cycle-hide-hidden-subtrees)

Please remember that I am an emacs-lisp greenhorn.
