I was debating whether this should go in this forum or programming because I'm not sure what it would entail, but I have a question I was hoping some techno guru could help me solve.

I'm running Windows XP, so I have the little icon tray in the bottom right hand corner. I know after awhile some of them become hidden, and you can set it up so that some are always hidden. Is there a way to make a program NOT go to the bar?

I ask because I've been using bit-torrent lately, and whenever my parents see the little black ball in the corner of the screen they close it, claiming it makes the computer run funny. Is there a way for me to minimize the program, and have it just...disappear, but still be running in the background? So no little dot in the corner, but if I click to launch it from the start menu it will bring up the downloader? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
