How can I hide the icon when Bionic is running on windows XP.

It does not hide, because it's always active.

Depends on how you installed it, you can stop the Manager from loading, but still crunch. If installed as a Service, just remove Boinc Manager from the start menu. If installed as a Single or Multiple user, then replace Boinc Manager in the startup menu with just BOINC (you may need some switches, which I do not know).

Right click in the system tray, not on an icon but next to or between them. You'll see a menu whose last item is Properties, select that. You should see a box labeled Task Bar and Start Menu Properties. On the Task Bar tab, the lower section is Notification Area, with a button that says Customize: click that button.

Find BOINC Manager in that list and click on it. The right column is Behavior, you should see a drop-down box appear. Your options are Hide when Inactive (the default, I think), Always Hide and Always Show. Select Always Hide, click OK, then Apply and OK. You shouldn't see the BOINC icon again unless you specifically show your hidden icons.

What I do is open task manager and kill explorer.exe, then I go to File->Run, type explorer and hit enter. This hides any tray icons that don't update themselves. AFAIK it works in both Win98 and XP.
