Is it possible?

I don't think there is a system tray option.
You could start it up minimized in the Taskbar by doing a reg hack (regedit)...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Under the Load key (dbl click on it), put in the path and filename to MC
However...
Under W2k this doesn't work (it does for virtually everything else). Placing the string "D:\MediaJukebox\Media Jukebox.exe" in the Load key fails because the quotation marks are ignored and it breaks on the non-standard filename (note the space between Media and Jukebox...a no-no with exe's). I tried with an underscore...no luck.
I also looked at the MJ Extension (http://www.musicex.com/mediajukebox/DevZone/CommandLine.html) page...nothing stood out.

Your shortcut to MC, find it, on your start menu?
Right click on it and select properties. In the "run" field, click the drop-down and select "minimised" then OK your changes.
Now you will find a bug so old it's got whiskers....
With MC set to minimse to tray in it's own options, launching it minimised will make it launch minimised to the taskbar, to get it into the tray, you have to restore/maximise it, then minimise again, and then, finally, you will have it in the tray.
Not ideal, but untill they sort out a fix, that's the closest you're gonna get for now.
-marko.

Next build should fix all this and start up minimized if you set it to, or if that's how you exited last.
Let us know if any issues remain after trying it.
