Windows 7 taskbar tasks without window in .Net

Question

I am trying to create an application for Windows 7 with taskbar tasks that are available even if there is no window like Media Player.

I use the Windows API code package and I managed to add custom tasks, but they are only available after creating the window, and as soon as the window closes, the tasks will be deleted.

Any idea how this can be achieved?

Make the window transparent? You can also minimize it if this is normal.
