    You can have it startup in the registry or the startup folder and set the Visible property of your main form to False. To have tray icons, an easy way would be to use class modules. There is a rather good one at http://www.domaindlx.com/e_morcillo/default.asp

    Cool

    I don't clearly understand what u need. However if u put the program in startup and do a routine to put the program in the system Tray then i think u can do this. U could use the API Shell_NotifyIcon for putting it in system tray. But I think u need some c++ dll for catching the messages from other apps.
