from this topic:
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread19672.html
ive managed to create an app that will sit in the system tray and can be minimised and restroed again but the problem is it wont disepear from the task bar. being a complete begginner at this stuff i have no idea where to look.

You have to set the Visible property to false, or call the this.Hide() method.
