hide a icon from the taskbar

pra85 · 07-04-2011, 10:55 PM

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.

Open Utorrent -> Select Preferences from tools menu ->Select UI settings -> Uncheck Always Show Tray icon.
You are done and good to go.

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

@ pra85
My steps worked for you or not???

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

Hiding Utorrent from taskbar.

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.
