Hidden windows showing up on taskbar, please help

I am working on a program that requires a hidden window.
I am using Win XP.
The main window in my program is off the screen with {WS_POPUP},
It used to not show the hidden window in the taskbar, but now it does.
This always worked before i had to reinstall my OS.
I used the same settings and installed same interpreter, win32lib,and 
IDE versions.
The same thing happens with win32lib IDE in the hints window.

An example of what im trying to do is below, but in the real program
the window is off screen. 

Is there any way to hide the main window?

--  Window hidden_window
constant hidden_window = createEx( Window, "", 0, Default, Default, 400, 
274, {WS_POPUP}, 0

hidden_window, 20, 16,
