C++: hide icon from taskbar

C++ has some convoluted way.

Visual Studio has a straightforward way, if you're using a form.

1) Look at your Solution Explorer and open your form's header file

2) Click your form's design space, just to make sure it's in focus

3) In the properties panel, scroll down to "ShowInTaskbar." Set that to "False"
