I have an archive program that runs all the time in the background. It
listens on a port for an occasional requests from another computer and
then the receives files. The problem is, it sits in the taskbar
whereas I'd like it to run invisibly.

Is there any way to run a program on Windows XP so it doesn't show in
the taskbar? I'd really be happy if it appeared as an icon in the
bottom right corner area (where the clock is) but I'd also be happy
just to remove it from the taskbar.

Start it from a different account with Task Scheduler, and don't elect
to run it interactively.
