Icon in Task Bar

Hi,
I have a VB.Net winforms program that monitors some report folder. All
works well in that respect.

I have the program start 'Minimized' and I also have the program
automatically start when the system starts. However, the program sits
Minimized as a big block in the Task Bar (Bar at bottom with the 'Start'
button). What i'd really like is to have it be displayed as just an Icon
with the collection of icons over on the right in the task bar near the
clock. Is there sosme simple way to do that in Visual Studio so instead of
just starting minimized, it just starts as an Icon?
Thanks,
 
see:
System.Windows.Forms.Form.ShowInTaskBar
System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon

The latter provides a sample in MSDN
