Sorry, that should more correctly read

"When minimized, the window will be hidden from the taskbar and from Alt+Tab."

When the window is open, it's definitely still going to appear in alt+tab - not sure there's any way to disable that behavior.

I'm using WinSet, ExStyle, % +0x80 in AHK to achieve that and it seems to not have any side effects
