Is "Viewpoint" part of Windows or is it Spyware?

It's not part of WMP, it's a separate plug-in. See: \nhttp://www.viewpoint.com/pub/technology/vmp.html \n\nRead here to see how you got it... \nViewpoint Media Player - Removal instructions \nhttp://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/library/viewpointmediaplayer/ind... \n\nRemove ViewPoint Media Player, description and removal instructions: \nhttp://www.2-spyware.com/remove-viewpoint-media-player.html \n\nPart of the standard AOL installation is the Viewpoint Media Player. With newer versions of AOL you will find that removing Viewpoint via the Add/Remove Programs wizard works only temporarily - upon a re-boot and running AOL (true with version 8) the Viewpoint Media Player is automatically re-installed. \n\nI also read in a newsgroup that if you install AOL Instant Messenger, Viewpoint Media Player will be installed. Read more about it here:\nhttp://ask-leo.com/c005087.html\n\nSo who among you have a Viewpoint folder at \nC:/Program Files/Viewpoint/Viewpoint Media Player ?

I did a Google search and it listed that executable (icpldrvx) and a spyware/malware.  Sound like you might have a hijacked browser.

I don't think you can do that.  I mean maybe with some major registry tweaks, but it's not worth the problems it would most definitely cause.  If you're worried about someone looking over your shoulder and seeing what progs your running...just put the TaskBar on AutoHide.

[1]\nIf you have Group Similar Taskbar Buttons" option enabled, then if you have more than a certain number of Internet explorer Windows opened, they get grouped to only one item in the TaskBar, you click on it then select the Window you want ot view\n\n[2]\nCould be a program [may call it a virus], that \n- changed/altered the programming code for the minimze button on Internet explorer from "Minimize" to "Minimize and Hide"\n- or simply monitors all Intenet Explorer Windows - and once any is detected to be minimized, it calls its hWnd [Handle to A Window (Windows programming)] and hides it...\n\nBefore saying that its a virus, check the icons near the clock on the Statusbar, and see if there is any applications that do that, or if ther eis an IE icon there...\n...\n..\n.

It may be just hiding.   You could create a new shortcut in programs files... Or you may need to go to the c/drive windows and make a new shortcut.\nE

It's likely to be a virus.  Spyware is usually for observing your internet surfing habits.

You're quite possibly talking about window blinds which can be found on the link below.  They have a Vista skin, and based on my experience, their skins seem to be very good indeed.\n\nI personally got fed up with the software, and have since uninstalled it (I also don't wanna pay for it) but have a look if you can't wait for Vista to come out!
