What he means is he want's it to go to the tray, but without any icon in there.

Therefore, the only way to even know mIRC is running is to look at the task list (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) or right click on toolbar and select "Task Manager"

The only thing I can think of is to send mIRC to the tray only (with password protected) and to change the mIRC tray icon (Options-->Display-->Tray-->"Location and name of icon to use in tray")

This allows you to specify a different icon in place of the standard mIRC icon in the tray.

So, if you create an icon that is the correct size and colour, it will just look like a *blank* patch unless someone double or right clicks on it.


Aubs.
cool
