use a NotifyIcon component. Use the FormClose event handler of your form to cancel the close. However you need to provide some method of allowing them to close the app.
See NotifyIcon on google or MSDN for a number of examples.

1. Add a Notify Icon to your main form of your project
2. Select if and press F4 to show the properties grid.
3. Set The name, the ballontipIcon, the ballontipText, ballontipIconTitle and the Icon(you should have and already icon to test you can bring any icon just for the test purposes
4. Go the the toolBox and add a ContextMenuItem
and add on it some menu items and customize their behavior a suite your needs
5. Put the ShowInTaskbar property of the form to false
And enjoy your self
