Is there an API which will change the effects of a user right-clicking on minimized application?? You know how some programs have a menu that consists of Exit, About etc. How is this done? Is there a way to hide a program in the task-bar using an API?
What do you mean by "hide"?Quote:

[1] The menu that is shown when you right click on a minimised application is the system menu (the one you also get by left clicking on the icon of a non-minimised app) so any changes to that will show up when the form is right -clicked in minimised form.
[2] Yes but they have intrinsic costs - why would you want to hide an application from the task manager anyway?
Some programs, when exit or close or the 'x' is selected, will close all windows, but will lie within the taskbar and continue to run. Morpheus, for example. Does that make any more sense?
Using the ShowWindow API will allow you to toggle the application's visibility.
