how to write app with not taskbar or form

| I need to write an app that runs continually in the background and gathers
network data. It will run all the time the user is logged in and then
terminate when the user logs out.
Current Code runs but leaves an entry on the taskbar that could be closed
but the user. Any Help Here would be appreciated.

In the project source code before creation of any form set the property
ShowMainForm of Application object to false.
Let the following code serve as an example:
program whatever;
uses
Forms,
main in 'main.pas' {MainWnd};
{$R *.res}
begin
Application.Initialize;
Application.ShowMainForm := false;
Application.CreateForm(TMainWnd, MainWnd);
Application.Run;
end.
However, the form, actually, will still exist, it won't be visible.
Nor be the button on the taskbar.
You may wish, additionally, to use google to find the component that will
put
the icon in the taskbar or write it by yourself since it's not a hard task.
