OK, it is very obvious to me, that command+H will hide applications and 
place them as running in the dock, but what happens if you don't want them 
to be in command+tab order?  In other words, Is there a 3rd party app that 
would let me keep the apps of my choice running, but rather than putting 
them in the dock as running would allow me to select from a list of 
applications.  I know vo+F1 twice will do this, but that's not quite what 
I'm talking about.  I am wanting that same effect, yes, but the addition is 
I don't want them taking up places in my command tab presses.  I'll give ya 
two perfect examples.

Using Quick time through the flip4Mac app, I love! listenning to xm radio 
online.  Well, once I navigate in Safari to the player page and get the 
station up that I want to listen to, and get it playing in quick time, I 
then obviously command q on safari.  Well, then if I hit command+H on quick 
time, yeah, it hides it, and gets it out of my way so I can do other things 
while I listen, but If I have several windows up, I don't wanna have to hear 
quick time every time I command tab around.  Maybe I am just overly picky, 
especially being I'm coming from a Windows background and am so accustom to 
the system tray, but, I just like the least amount of clutter.  For 
instance, on my windows box, I never! have more than two at the ab, suh, 
loot! most windows opened at once.  This means I only have two windows to 
alt tab between.  Here's another example.

I am a music lover.  Gotta have my good oal ITunes.  Well, I don't like 
ITunes taking up an extra command tab press.  See, in Winedows, it's cool, 
as I can tell ITunes to minimise to the system tray.  This means, obviously 
then if I alt tab, ITunes doesn't get in the way.  I literally have to go 
get it from the notification area/system tray.  I know Tiger, nor Leopard 
can do this naturally that I know of, but I wonder if there is an 
application that would let me do get it out of the command tab sequence 
while still giving me the control to bring it up on a need per need basis.

Again, call me picky but... is this just something I'm stuck with getting 
used to, and just need to get my head around, or is there maybe a work 
around?

Chris.
