Talking hide a icon from the taskbar


my OS is Win 7 Ultimate
i want to hide the icon of Utorrent in the taskbar so that it only works in the background without being detected by anybody

[hide in the sense that it is not at all there ,even in the hidden icons]

You can use the freeware utility WinVisible. Require more info or review? Read it here.

He wants to run the program undetected. With those settings, it is visible in the taskbar when minimized..

Winvisible only hides the process and not the icon from the taskbar

Default Re: hide a icon from the taskbar

no ,the icon does not disappear
the thing that i want is that utorrent should be running(in the background) and nobody should know that it is (my mom who closes it again and again)


i use a software known as Auto PowerOn & Shut-Down Ver 2.04 and i have entered in it scheduled task that it runs utorrent every 10 mins

Use both of the above suggestions together. Hide the icon from tb using the program's built-in option and then hide the program (i.e without minimizing utorrent) using WV.
