title: WPF Window that only shows in TaskBar
body: <p>I'm not sure if what I want to do is appropriate, so I'll explain a little.</p>
  
  <p>We've got a large application that takes a while to load.  So we have a splash screen.
  The Splash screen causes excessive load time on Remote Desktop (terminal server).
  So to alleviate this, we want to hide the splash screen when loading on RDP.
  But we still need to at least show the user that the application is loading.</p>
  
  <p>So, I was thinking perhaps just show something in the Taskbar (not the system tray), as it will disappear once the application is fully loaded (and be replaced by the main form's Task icon).
  However any WPF solution I've looked at, requires a visible form/window to go with the Taskbar status.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way of showing something in the Taskbar without showing a WPF window?</p>
  
  <p>Or is there another way of showing application load status without something on the screen?</p>
