Question about 'How do I hide running applications?'

I have a question about How do I hide running applications?:

This specific problem is with a program that is supposed to run in stealth mode, ie "Family Key Logger". Even though I installed it with all the stealth options checked, it is still visible from the running tasks menu... but that's not the biggest problem, since the name doesn't automatically give it away. However, in Windows XP, if you right click on an empty space in the taskbar and hit 'properties', then at the 'Notification area' at the bottom you hit 'customize', you can clearly see the "Family Key Logger' program there. Doesn't do much good to have it if it's easily found in this way. ANY helpful suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you.

Poorly written app, complain to the source, a "stealthed" program should never show up in the system tray . W

you could use a program called do hide. it can be downloaded at http://utility.downloadatoz.com/dohide/ this doesnt make up for poor programming on the keylogger but at leat it will fix your problem
