How to set program in background ?

Best regards to all  ;D

mrdebug:
I think you can't. I think that the program itself that you want to start must be executed in background mode. If you want that the program mustn't displayed on the desktop you must run the main program like a service.

Imants:
You can use TSimpleICPClient and TSimpleIPCServer (under system tab)
You can send and recieve mesages between two local applications using these two components
