You can remote the 'Control Box' (Minimize, Resize and Close) with

Me.ControlBox = False

You can also check with the user to ensure they really want to close your application with something like the following

Private Sub FormClosing(ByVal sender AS object, _
    ByVal e as System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
   If MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you wish to close") = DialogResult.Yes Then
      If MessageBox.Show("Are you really sure :P ") = DialogResult.Yes Then
        Me.Close()
      End IF 
   End If
End Sub
