Hello!
I have installed some programs on the computer of my kids and I dont want
them to fiddle with their icons which are found near the time...they are
closing the programs all the time. I dont even want to hide the icons, I
want them gone from the taskbar without effecting the operation of the
program. I know XP allows icons to be always hidden but then you can reveal
them by clicking on the small arrow buttons...i dont want that, just want
them gone.
Thanks!

You would need to be able to edit the program in question, perhaps
instead make their account to be a USER instead of administrator

He/She'd probably be sued for child abuse. Don't want to make the kids feel
bad about themselves, you know.

Control Panel > Taskbar and Start Menu > Customize...

Change the behaviour drop-down lists from "Hide when inactice"
to "Always hide", for those programs which you want this
behaviour.

Does it do what you want?
