You can remove the border using the Win32 Declare Library (it has window
extension functions to change the frame properties of the window at
runtime). As far as keeping the window from the taskbar, according to MSDN,
popup windows (which is what a plain box is) don't make any mention of being
on the taskbar. The only style which claims won't appear on the taskbar is
WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW. But after testing, even that style will show up on the
taskbar (but not in the Alt+Tab menu!) in XP. So I'm not certain why
setting that style doesn't fix things.
HTH!
