If you want to go the .NET Windows Forms Application route:
- Set FormBorderStyle to FixedToolWindow. (no alt-tab)
- Set ShowInTaskbar to false
- Set Opacity to 0% and WindowState to Minimized (without opacity 0%, you'll
see the minimzed window)
- Add a notifyIcon to the form, set its icon, and add some sort of
application exiting ability to it.

Can anybody provide an example of how to program an application that can
run
in the background and show only the icon on the taskbar?
