I work in a school, and wish to implement VNC as soon as possible, mainly to make my life easier with its remote administration capabilities. I too wish to hide the tray icon, to prevent pupils from closing the program. We have an old version of NetOp installed on most machines (but in the rebadged form of RM Tutor). Surely its not illegal in schools too to watch pupils without their knowledge? Mainly its to protect them, making sure they aren't accessing porn or in chat rooms, and if they are, those sites can then be blocked. RM Tutor lets teachers watch pupils without their knowledge, and has no tray icon etc. The link above only applies to NT. The majority of our clients are Win98 with about a quarter running W2K Pro. So, if anyone can send me the relevant reg keys etc I need to change to hide the tray icon I'd be very grateful.
