Keeping a program from showing up in the taskbar

Hardware and technical stuff
1

I’m on XP Pro at work, and for reasons I’ll leave to your imagination (don’t think about goats, don’t think about goats), I’d like to have a program open that doesn’t display down in the taskbar.

Short of having the taskbar auto-hide, is there any way to keep a program open and NOT have it show up down below? I’ve looked, and it doesn’t have a ‘minimize to tray’ option.

Thoughts?

Or, use one of the many virtual desktop solutions out there (I think there’s a basic virutal desktop in the XP Powertoys from MS, even) and do your naughty stuff on a different desktop?

Fucking perfect.

Hey that’s pretty cool. I wonder if it works in Vista even though “not tested.”
