ive had an idea for a program, but i dont have enough knowledge to make it.

Basically, at work or skool wen ure on the net or something ure not ment to be on when u close it, it just minimizes it to tray, is there a way to do tis

you could write your own browser, or just embed one into you app

or you could have an application that monitors the window state of all open browsers and it that state turns to minimized then hide the window. Its been a while since I used api calls (dont program anymore) but effectively youd do the following

-grab the handle of the each open parent window
-check it the title of the window with that handle started with "internet explorer"
-store that handle

-then keep checking that window state of that handle
-if it changes to minimized then force change it to hidden

then youd need some hotkey combination which would unhide the window
