Hide the main window. In MFC this will do the trick: AfxGetMainWnd()->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) Of course, you won't be able to interact with the app while it's hidden unless you provide a means of making it visible or allowing it do display a context menu. A common convention here is do add an icon to the system tray while the app is hidden.

I believe you can take off the WS_EX_APPWINDOW extended style from the window.
