title: How to hide an application from taskbar in Windows 7?
body: <p>I would like to hide an application from the Windows 7 taskbar. </p>
  
  <p>I want to make something like a toolbar on the edge of the screen which does certain things when the user clicks on it, but I don't want it to show in the taskbar, since its a thing that i want to stay in the background.</p>
  
  <p>I tried the instructions in the following post, but it did not work on my application:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1553923/how-to-hide-a-taskbar-entry-but-keep-the-window-form">How to hide a taskbar entry but keep the window form</a></p>
  
  <p>Then i tried it on a new empty VCL Forms Application and it still did not work. I searched for other solutions, but they all do very much the same like in the linked post.</p>
  
  <p>Has something changed, that makes that impossible in windows 7? Or is there anything you 
  could think of, that could prevent it from working?</p>
