It depends on how you launch the dialog. I think the dialogs will show up
if they are either separate applications being launched each time or
separate windows that have the desktop as their parent. There may also be
something about the tray icon being the parent that might cause this as
well. Are you launching these as separate instances of the application?

Hmm, but if I launch Outlook, and then a dialog, I do not see an
additional entry in Task Manager for each dialog that is displayed...

I have a System Tray application that does NOT appear in the Windows
Task Bar. It displays various CDialogs, non of which show in the Task
Bar.

However if I display the Windows Task Manager, my dialogs show up
under the Application tab.

What am I missing, how do I prevent them from showing in Windows Task
Manager/Applications ?

You don't. A system tray application is, umm..., an application.
