Yes, if you right click on the file TaskWindow.win and select Attributes... you get a dialog with a Menu field, which you can change to NoMenuBar.

Thanks, but I see that MDI cannot be used if task window has no menu. How could I change an existing project to SDI or what are limitations? Are MDI/SDI described somewhere?

MDI/SDI are aincient Windows ideas and I am afraid that we do not have any conceptual description of it.

The main idea is (where "document" should be considered "loosely")

An MDI (multiple document interface) window have embedded document windows.
An SDI (single document interface) application does not have embedded document windows.

But there is a lot of direct and indirect implications of this.

It is not advisable to change a project from one to the other, the advice is to create a new project of the other kind and move the relevant functionality/files into that project. I suggest that you first play around with an SDI project first to become aquainted with it.
