Here is some code that does what you want as far as the systray goes.
You can hide a form.

Thank you that worked, though it wont let me put my 'ico' file as my icon, how can I do that? And how come when I start the project, it starts in my taskbar? I dont want that, only when you minimize it.
Make your icon the one that form1 uses. It is referred to as me.icon
I think that all systray icons start with the app. I don't remember any that starts before it hits the system tray.
Its not letting me though, wont let me use .ico files at all :-S
I used to have this problem. Only certain Icon files can be used. I've never looked into what they have to be (maybe someone else knows), but a good Icon maker never did me wrong. IconPro I think it was. Try google :)

The ones here are 16x16 - 96dpi.
I use MicroAngelo, and like it. Thanx, RhinoBull for recommending it.
