[X4U] Remove icon in Taskbar

[Paul Moortgat]

It's quit a long time now that I made someone buy a Mac.  It's 11 or  
12 now and I want to bring it 1 higher.
Here is the knowledge because I don't have a PC and a lot have the  
new Macs with probably Windows.
The number of times I or someone else asked something about a PC one  
can count that on one hand.
Even this is to much.  What a world.
