Creating background application

Hello,

How do I create a background application which has no visibility for the
user? I don't want to write this as a service. What I want is when the user
logs in this application is started but I don't want it in task bar and I
don't want the user to see it when he/she ALT-Tab to go through the list of
running application. What is the best way to achieve this result? I also
don't want to make it a console application?

Thanks,

wesley
