SUMMARY
There are no functions included in the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) to add or remove windows from the task list. All top-level windows (that is, windows without parents) that are visible will automatically appear in the task list. A window can be removed from the task list by making it hidden. Call ShowWindow with the SW_HIDE parameter to hide the window. To make it visible again, call ShowWindow with the appropriate parameter such as SW_SHOW or SW_SHOWNORMAL.

NOTE: On Windows 95 or later, and Windows NT 4.0 or later, hiding a top- level window also removes the window from the taskbar.
