Right-click on the tray icon and click on 'hide VLC media player in taskbar'.

This works on my laptop -- Win7 Ultimate. @battistis Make sure you're clicking the System Tray icon to minimize. – Kaze Aug 16 '11 at 21:37
Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. – Luke Sep 8 '12 at 19:43

You can't hide the VLC icon when it is running. It will ALWAYS appear on the taskbar while it is running.
