A command window icon/object is appearing in the 'Minimize Window
Viewer' with the name shown above.  I would like to:
a)  Change the properties so this icon is 'hidden' instead
    of minimized.
b)  Filtered [in some way] so that it does not appear, similar
    to the filtering in the eCenter list.

But, I cannot find the object to change...

Second [or maybe it should be first], is there any reason why this
task/object does not just complete instead of hanging around after it
had run and accomplished its function?  This would also get rid of it.

  
Hmmm... Never noticed this one. You might want to ask Christian over on the WLAN-user list, in case he doesn't see it over here. Since this is an executable and not a program object, I can't imagine how an end user would be able to change its properties to detached vs minimized. That said, the reason it remains running is that in order to maintain a WPA connection, the supplicant must run as a daemon process. Now, why Christian has opted to run it in a minimized window instead of as a true daemon is for him to say. :-)

More info on supplicant technology is available at http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/.
