I just said that IMO vfp app shouldn't control Windows itself, e.g. remove buttons from taskbar, change settings which might be common for other apps and so on. Maybe, I understood initial question in wrong way or was understood wrong myself, but anyway it was just my opinion. Surely, I have nothing against background processes in a sense that they are not on desktop but still on taskbar.
