Can you hide a VNC icon from the system tray?

There are variations of the origional VNC you can download that will allow you to hide the icon.

With the origional program, No. You can however run a registry file containing the following:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default]
"AllowProperties"=dword:00000000
"AllowShutdown"=dword:00000000
"Password"=hex: (your passwrod in hex)

Now when you right click on WinVNC it will load without the options, preventing users from viewing teh options or closing the app. You can also set a "universal" password so you don't have to set it on each machine.

Once you set the password on the first machine you can then copy & paste it, or even export it.

 
I forgot part:
If you want a version that will allow the icon to be hidden go to
Install and then change the reg key as a dword of disabletrayicon set it to 1 in the
hive hkey_localmachine/software/orl/winvnc3
