Windows application to hide an application from the taskbar
-
Is there a way to "hide" a normal windowed application in Windows? I'm looking for something that removes it from the taskbar and possibly puts an icon in the system tray instead. Specifically, I am looking for something that works in Windows XP.

I use http://sourceforge.net/projects/processpriority/ for this. It has a lot of other options besides putting an app in the system tray, but I use this the most.

Try the open-source tools http://sourceforge.net/projects/minime-tool/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/rbtray/ to minimize a Windows application to the system tray and hide it from the taskbar.
