Taskbar
I have a program that runs all of the time. I can, of course,
minimize it so that it shows along the bottom of the window, but I would really like to have it not show up there--just keep running in the background. Is there a way to do that? How about getting the icon to show up in the taskbar? Rick |

How about getting the icon to show up in the taskbar? Rick Do you want it to show an icon in the system tray, at the right side of the taskbar? The program might have a built-in option for that. If not, here are some utility programs that say they can minimize programs to the system tray: http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/3000-...l?tag=lst-0-24 http://www.actualtools.com/windowsma..._to_tray.shtml http://www.shelltoys.com/minimize_tr...stem_tray.html You can probably find more by doing a web search for "minimize to system tray" or similar strings. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
