How Do i....
You know when you minimize a application well how do i minimize it then HIDE it so it looks like the application isnt on the start bar even if u scan the start bar with your cursor it wont light up or anything.
So does anyone know how to hide a application thats running like for example your talkint to someone on msn you minimize the convosation, and if i wanted to hide the minimize icon in the start tray how would i do this? thanks guys.

Funny you should ask. My son asked me the same question a couple of weeks ago, but it turned out that he was trying to hide the fact that he was on messenger instead of doing his homework, when I'd come by to "check on him". I said I didn't know.

Just use one of the "boss key" or "hide window" programs. Here is a freeware one:

Personally, I do it using a program called Powerpro. But, that is an extremely powerful program that is a bit more difficult to get to know (but well worth the time investment)
