It's not designed to be able to do this. I don't have the source to alter it so it does.
The one thing I liked about Win XP before wiping the drive and installing Win2k was that when you log off an account in XP, the programs you were running stay running in the background. They don't in 2k, at least in the default settings...
I can hide the entire taskbar, but that's a bit obvious.
Suggestions?
