in my child forms ?

Thanks in advance

Child forms... Are you talking about an MDI environment?
 
Yes, sure am Herfried

Microsoft design guidlines seem to stipulate that no
icons should appear on child forms, however the only way
I can seem to make them dissapear altogether is to set
the FormBorderStyle to one of the ToolWindow options
which doesn't seem right to me.

Removing my standard icons simply leaves the default one
in its place...

Set the form's 'FormBorderStyle' property to 'FixedDialog' and its
'ShowInTaskbar' property to 'False'. This will remove the icon -- even
for MDI children.
