Can I get rid of the taskbar icon created by WinVNC?

No. Not without changing and recompiling the source code. We feel that there would be few legitimate uses of VNC where you would need to conceal its operation. However, there might be occasions where you would not want the user of the server machine to be able to adjust the WinVNC settings, password, etc, so versions later than 3.3.2R3 will include a ‘restricted’ mode where the icon is still visible, but the menu options normally available from it will be disabled.
