Use the ITaskBarList interface instead.

Yes.

Although you can change the Desktop of a thread, even the main thread, I
would not recommend doing so for a GUI application because of the resources
involved.  It is best to just run an application under a single Dekstop and
leave it there.  You can have multiple instances of the same application
running under different Desktops and have them communicate with each other
when needed.
