What I wanted to do was have a certain program running, but make it so the icon didn't show up in the notifications area. Basically run it like most services on windows, silently, but hidden in the background. So for those that want to do this for whatever reason, this is what I did. Start > Control Panel > Administrative tools > Services * Once in services, find the program that you want to hide the icon of. Right click on it and hit Properties. It should give you a window with access to 4 tabs. (General, Log-on, Recovery, and Dependencies) Go ahead and click on the Log-on tab. Now un-tick the box that says "Allow service to interact with desktop" Hit apply, then restart the computer. Now when your computer starts up, the program's icon is no longer in the notification area. In fact, the only way to know its running is by checking the Windows task manager processes. In which it will be there, running silently in the background.
