Booooze

Hey bud.

I'm not quite sure exactly what you are asking so you can try a couple things.
If you want to hide the program from showing up in the taskbar, there is a form property you can change. Set ShowInTaskbar = false to do that. If thats not what you meant, I can only thing of one other thing. Do you mean to hide the program and display an icon in the system tray?(near the clock). If so, it's a lot of code, but here are a few results from google:

Hope this will work for you this time.

You mean when it minimizes it goes to the little taskbar on the right hand of the screen on a windows machine? or minimize it to the main taskbar where you can clearly see everything thats running? From what I understand you could just use Form2 being the form you want to hide.

Im not sure on why you want to hide anything, or why you started a new thread but I hope its not for malicous reasons or ill help no furthur.

It's only the third thread with the question. OP should probably read the rules and rub a couple brain-cells together, if they're to be found anywhere.
