Hide vraydummy icon

[toonym]

Hi everybody,

I would like to know if it's possible to totally hide the "vraydummy2014" icon in the main taskbar (win7) when launching the vray DR spawner ?
It starts minimize but the 3dsmax icon is still visible.

Is this possible to hide it ?
Maybe a secret option when launching it..

Thx

So you can install it on coworker's machines and zap their processing power without them knowing?

right!

but the idea is just to have the process ready to work for the night.
They close it at each startup...

Any ideas please?

Any ideas please?

I don't know but: Right Click Taskbar > Properties > Notification Area > Customize > Put behaviour on hide icon and notification?

Thx Vizioen.

It doesn't work, still visible

If you run the spawner as a Windows service, then it will not show an icon in the taskbar.

Thx Vlado.

It works.

But it only works if i register the service "as an administrator".
That's why i was looking for something else.

But now it's ok.
Thx very much

You should be able to register the service to run as any local user on the machine - in its Properties dialog, in the "Log on" tab.
