When Spotify is running, it shows a little icon in the activity field. On most operative systems, closing the Spotify window minimizes the player to the activity window, freeing up space in the task bar – but not in Windows 7, it seems.
I think it's a little uneccessary to have two icons in almost the same place that does almost the same thing. Is there anyway to hide a program icon from the task bar, in this case specifically Spotify?

You can right click the tray icon and 'check' "Hide from Taskbar when Closed".
And then click the cross :)
I had the same problem and found the solution on Google.
Altough it would be great if it was also on the Preferences page where I looked first.
