Is there a hack that disables programs from staying open but doesn't rid the taskbar? I had one that did this automatically but I couldn't access the iPod controls/Portrait lock cause the taskbar wouldnt open.

There is RemoveBG SBSettings but I was wondering if there was something that did it automatically instead of having to press it everytime.

Have you tried Remove Recents?

I have it.
Does it kill backgrounding process? I though all it does it remove them from the taskbar.

it only closes out apps that do not background natively...

skype stays on for me,along with phone and email typically.....most all others will not be in lower tray when i look... with remove recents
 
I was looking for something that will kill the processes automatically while keeping the Taskbar.

The first hack I used ("disable iOS4 Multitasking") did it, but disabled the taskbar.

If you install Backgrounder it can be configured to close apps when closed/ minimized... It will work with IOS4 Multitasking enabled. It also has "over rides" for the "native" apps, i.e. Mail, iPod, Phone etc...
