Simple.  When you use CreateWindow(), eliminate the WS_MINIMIZEBOX style from
the dwStyle (third) parameter.  This should also remove the Minimize
menuitem for you.  I'm not sure about the Minimize box, but Microsoft has
stated that the Maximize box is supported only in the WS_OVERLAPPED class.
I suspect the same is true of the Minimize box, so it's a good idea not to
include either one in a child window's style specification.

What?  You mean the Programmer's Reference doesn't make this clear?!  :)
