I don't think there is a way to do this using AutoIt functions, but you might find something here that you can use DLLCall with. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....i_reference.asp

$WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW: A tool window does not appear in the taskbar or in the dialog box that appears when the user presses ALT+TAB. If a tool window has a system menu, its icon is not displayed on the title bar. However, you can display the system menu by typing ALT+SPACE.

Eg.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Test GUI", -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)
GUISetState ()

While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
   If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
