Actually it's very very easy! Now thier reasly isn't anything to be woried
about on the console thing because nothing really is ever printed to the
console. Second it's a matter of changing /subsystem:console to
/subsysem:windows (If you are using the project method to compile,like the
windows msvc++) Then basicly change the main functions name, make a winmain
function, and call the main function with the arguments. Then you would put
in the code for the systray.
Basicly if I were to do I would be using bits of code from things like the
systray stuff I can get from the source of sambar server and the winmain
things was done in a patch on the ftp site.
Other than that it should be fine
