  Yes.  You didn't give that as one of your requirements.  State the
problem/request more completely and you'll get a more complete answer.

  I thought the parameter you wanted to prompt for was the password.

  How would this hypothetical system tray icon avoid the user needing
the password?  If it's passed to the program as an argument then it
would be in the startup command line (shortcut, registry, whatever).
If it's stored only in memory someone will have to enter it at
startup.  If it's stored in a file somewhere then it will be
extractable.  Etc.  Any of these might be appropriate; it depends on
the scenario.

  What are you trying to do?  What are you protecting?
