    Is there a way to toggle it? At home the lid sits almost closed in a dock, so it's a real pain to open the lid, press the button twice, then close it again.

    Use Stealth Mode Indicator. You can toggle it using the tray icon.

    Edit: Best way to use it is to create a shortcut to the executable and drag/copy it into the Startup folder so that it starts automatically when Win7 starts. Very handy, unobtrusive utility.
