How do you hide Taskbar Icon?

I am trying to hide the icon for my screen saver, but haven't had much
luck. I've initialized isLibrary := True to get the program to act like a
DLL, but as long as the form is showing, my icon still appears. Any
suggestions?

Put the following line either in your form create code or into the
project source after the application.initialize & make sure the
'windows' unit is included in your uses clause.

SetWindowLong(Application.Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW);

This will have the effect of removing the icon from the taskbar.
