Can you hide the icon that appears on the taskbar from a C++ console program?

I've been programing for about a year and a half. I'm using Dev C++ to write a simple C++ console program and i don't want to have that icon in the taskbar that says that the program is running. Is there any way to hide it?

Yes. I do this all the time. See Dominik Filipp's article:

If you'd like to place an icon or animation in the systemtray, see Chris Maunder's article:

I often use both of these mechanisms.

Reply:If you write the program as a service then it doesn't get a taskbar icon. So your keylogger doesn't get discovered right away.
