    My application is a windows service. it doesn't have any icon. I am closing another application which has an icon. This application doesn't provide any interface to restart it so i find its processes in task manager, save it exe path from there and then kill the processes. The path is used to start the service again if needed. When i kill the process, its icon remains and disappears only when i move mouse over it.

    Sorry for my misunderstanding in my previous post. It sounds like that article Xmen gave you would be the way to go. I hope it works out well. :)

      Thanx xmen.. Your reply is an answer but it seems that the application goes thru all processes... Is it possible to change ths code to "remove the icon for this process"... or do i have to read in all processes and then remove ones which have no filename... Actually, i realize that its a bit too early to reply coz i hvent looked into code that much... Thankyou for forwarding such a helpful application... Best regards

          When your application exits, inside the Form_Closing event handler you should use this code: notifyIcon1.Dispose(); That will ensure your 'system tray' icon gets removed when your application exits.

          Hi, Such exit code doesn't get executed when you kill a process. That is not the solution. Read the article that was mentioned, it works! :-D

                      I wonder if it is an XP thing, I have something at work (put in place by those IT Gods who maintain our infrastructure) that creates the task manager icon at start up, it disappears if I do this.
