Frame that does not show up in Windows' start menu

I have a few auxiliary frames used to display information that essentially act like part of the main frame. They always dock to it and can’t be moved away (or as close as I could get; they snap back if you try to move them). They have title bars, though, and they clutter up the Start Menu as a result… is it possible to not have them show up in the Start Menu, and if so, how?

Thanks,

Set the following style on the frames

  • wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR:
    Creates an otherwise normal frame but it does not appear in the taskbar under Windows or GTK+ (note that it will minimize to the desktop window under Windows which may seem strange to the users and thus it might be better to use this style only without wxMINIMIZE_BOX style). In wxGTK, the flag is respected only if the window manager supports _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR hint.
