I can't test it right now, but did you try the $WS_DLGFRAME style when creating your GUI?

Another possibility (from MSDN):

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Opt('GUICloseOnEsc', 0)

Global Const $SC_CLOSE      = 0xF060
Global Const $MF_GRAYED     = 0x00000001

$hGUI   = GUICreate('Test')
$Btn    = GUICtrlCreateButton('Exit', 100, 100, 70, 25)
GUISetState()

$hMenu = DllCall('user32.dll', 'int', 'GetSystemMenu', 'hwnd', $hGUI, 'int', 0)
DllCall('user32.dll', 'int', 'EnableMenuItem', 'hwnd', $hMenu[0], 'int', $SC_CLOSE, 'int', $MF_GRAYED)

Do
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
Until $Msg = $Btn

Thanks PsaltyDS, your approach did help, but i wanted to display the icon as well. My fault for not mentioning this before.

Thanks Holger, your suggestion worked perfectly. Thank you guys!

You could also just have the button there and not set Case for it. So even if you click on it nothing happens.
