We've had a lot of queries about this, so I've added the following to
the FAQ:


Q. Can I get rid of the taskbar icon created by WinVNC?

No. Not without changing and recompiling the source code.  We feel that
there would be few legitimate uses of VNC where you would need to
conceal its operation.
However, there might  be occasions where you would not want the user of
the server machine to be able to adjust the WinVNC settings, password,
etc, so versions later than 3.3.2R3 will include a 'restricted' mode
where the icon is still visible, but the menu options normally available
from it will be disabled.
