The concept of "minimizing" is not really done in mobile OS's. One application runs at a time. You can send apps to the background, but that is done by simply switching to the new program without closing out the first.

And if I want to see the desktop ( my pocket pc desktop)
after I run the first program so I could operate from there the other program??!

Is this thing possible?

Yah, it's possible, but it IS a bit odd. The way you would have to do it would be to alter the size or location of the form on the screen. Of course, this means using forms, and I urge people to have one BIG form with a bunch of panels on it, rather than having a bunch of forms, because forms load so slowly.

You have a Size property on a form in the CF, just as you do in the full .NET, so if you alter the size of the form to something less than the size of the screen, it should work, though I have never actually tried it.
