PC Win: How to Hide the Microsoft Mail Spooler Icon

MORE INFORMATION

However, you can hide the mail spooler icon by invoking Microsoft Windows Application Programming Interface (API) calls. The following Microsoft Visual Basic version 3.0 code fragment illustrates how these calls can be used to hide the Mail spooler after a successful Mail session has been established using MAPILogon:

   ' Start routine to hide the mail spooler
   Handle% = FindWindow(0&, "MS Mail Spooler (auto)")
   If Handle% <> 0 Then
      Status = ShowWindow(Handle%, SW_HIDE)
   End If
   ' End routine
				

NOTE: On slower machines, the Mail spooler icon may flash when the above calls are implemented.
