That's something else :) I want only main window visible in taskbar, not other 
non-modal forms opened from same app. As I can see from your code you are just 
excluding WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW from hwnd ... maybe  that can help for my code too 
... I'll try. I'm unix user all of my life, so those winapi tricks are pretty 
new for me :)

Thanks a lot.
