1. Freaked out, no - annoyed yes. Who says the latest version will be better - the user should have the option to autoupdate or not. This could be a deal breaker for many users.
2. Seriously, your app, what else! Every other app in the tray when double clicked will open up - yours should also. Instead, you have to right click then scroll to the Show/Hide option - too many steps for a simple function - again, annoying.
5.
...add 'autoupdate' to Options: as a checkbox.
...add ability to left click to Show/Hide app from tray.
...fix XP tray icon bug.
...add a 'Help' menu item that opens the help file located in the local folder. A link to the support forums could also be added as a menu item within the app.
...provide a 'changelog' - updates, new fetures, known bugs etc.

1. That's the autoupdater - I want to make sure users always run the latest version, no need to freak out :P
2. Show/Hide... what? :) The tray icon?
3. I'll add them in the next version (the desktop / taskbar are hidden)
4. That's a minor Windows XP bug. I'll see if I can fix it in a future release.
5. What would make it a 5/5? :D

A few things I don't like already...
...The program wants to connect to the internet every run
...No left click to Show/Hide when running
...No documentation - not everyone may know what Toggle desktop / taskbar icons means
...When run there is no icon visible - see link for pic of taskbar - http://www.kwikpiks.com/files/137/syssilencer.png
Easy to setup - download exe file, when run a .cfg file is created in the same folder. The dev seems open to new features.
Overall - 3 of 5 stars - just my .02's worth :)

I followed the link and I don't see a .zip, the download is an .exe???
v1.2 was an improvement for sure (don't know about 1.3) but this app still needs work in my opinion. The information comes by way of dialog boxes and I think I clicked 12, maybe 15 times to get the tool's details - wouldn't a .pdf file be much easier.
It is freeware, worth the effort, but as has been mentioned, even getting details on the website is a wild-goose-chase.

Follow the link above and look for the aqua colored "Download" button, about half-way down the page.
Btw, I believe the file is a single *.exe - 'system_silencer.exe' - when you run the file, settings are saved to a *.cfg file in the same directory.
