>When running my VB apps, I would prefer that they are not shown as a button on the windows taskbar but as an Icon on the winows taskbar Icon tray. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance for any help.

I have uploaded a demo on how to do it (including source code) in API section of files.
It is also available for downlload from http://members.aol.com/vmpn/download/systraydemo.zip
