When you create the window using the CreateWindow function, you must
specify a 'style' for the window.  If you XOR the style with
WS_MINIMIZEBOX (e.g. WS_CHILD | ... | ... ^ WS_MINIMIZEBOX), then the
down arrow will be removed.  Also, it will automatically grey out the
Minimize option on the system menu.  It is probably a good idea to
follow the Applications Style Guide and not remove the menu item, but
just mark it as unusable.
