taskbar??

[tha 4NiK8R]

Anyone have any idea on how to get a program(UD Think specifically) to run without having a taskbar icon showing?

you can force explorer to crash!!!

or run it as a service in NT. I think you can run it as a service in 9x, but I'm not sure...

Put a piece of electrical tape over the icon.....

Sorry, couldn't resist

Yes, define the shell as the program.

Goto the Win.ini file and define the shell=myprogram

Then the computer will not load explorer, just that program. When that program gets exited, there is just a blank background. If you design the software to restart itself when exited, then you will pretty much be good to go.

when editing the registry, include double slashes

at least it is this way in a regedit export.

C:\\program files\\file.exe

Let me rephrase the question. I am trying to get UD Think to run on a machine(Win 2k or NT) as a service. How do I accomplish this. In Win2k the "RunAsService" does not exist in the registry.
