Invisible form appears in Alt-tab list

In my VB.Net Windows Forms app, I am loading a form, populating some
controls, and then hiding the form. Even though the form is invisible, it
still appears when you hit Alt-Tab. ShowInTaskbar is set to False for the
form. Is there any way to prevent the form from appearing in the Alt-Tab
list?

Thanks!

Could you give ownership of the form to another form perhaps?
