Problem hiding application's taskbar icon in Windows ME

Question:

I used the following standard code to hide my application from the taskbar in the initialization part of the program:

ShowWindowAsync(Application.Handle, SW_HIDE);
Application.ProcessMessages;

Answer:

This is a bug in Windows. It strikes when an application having a full-screen window open is closed.
Hiding, minimizing or just resizing the window smaller before the app is closed usually solves the problem.
