Simple; you don't - it's the users' computer, and the user is in control. Why are you trying to achieve this? If you just want to hide the icon, try using one that's completely transparent.

This is the second time that you have asked a variant on this question in less than 5 hours. Hiding applications is bad practice and will make other CP users think you are trying to develop something mischievous. I would suggest that you try to give us some more information on what you are trying to achieve / develop, so that you can be advised better.

You can't. Since it's a seperate process, it has full control over its own icon on the taskbar.

Who says hiding applications is bad practice? I cannot see how you would get the impression that the posted question is somehow mischievous. Moreover, what do you care how many times they posted this question. Maybe the poster is trying different questions in order to solicit different suggestions, or asking the question differently do to language limitations.

Just about everybody. The only reason to hide an application is to prevent the user/owner of the PC from knowing what is going on; chances are this is for illegal purposes.

There are lots of reasons to hide the application; logon utility for enterprise-wide systems, input applications such as system-wide shortcut keys, search indexer, connection manager, image cache manager, continous on-line backup, and on and on and on. Just open task-manager and look at all those many processes and those few applications. There is a difference between hiding the application and making an application undetectable.
