How to prevent an app from being pinned in Windows 7?

Question

I am trying to prevent the user from pinning my .NET app to the taskbar. I\'ve found some code on the Old New Thing that does just that. However, it is in C++.

You can download the Windows API Code Pack which has the necessary p/invoke calls you need to translate the code in your post to C#.

Either use the library in whole or find the specific calls and definitions you require (search it for SHGetPropertyStoreForWindow and then its other dependencies).
