GeneralHiding a form and displaying only a tray icon Pin

I want my application to run most of the time as just an notify icon visible in the system tray, with some dialogs that pop up if the user selects an option from the context menu on the tray icon. I've had a look at the example on code project that creates an application that runs in the system tray:

http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/desktop_mail_checker.asp

So I copied how the above article sets up the main form: the form's FormBorderStyle to none, set it to minizied, disable the titlebar controls (maximize, minimize, close etc). It was all fine until I noticed that the form was visible in the Alt-Tab menu and once you had alt-tabbed to it there was no way of hiding it again Frown | :(

After a bit of googling I discover if I set the Form's FormBorderStyle to FixedToolWindow then it was no longer visible in the Alt-Tab menu, result! But today I have noticed that now I can no longer minimize or hide the form it appears as a minizied tool window in the bottom left of my desktop when the application is running and even worse if the user double clicks on the title bar the window expands to its normal size, apart from the form is empty and there's no way to minimize it again!

Anyone got any ideas as to how to completely hide form so its not visible as a window on the taskbar or on the alt-tab menu? All I want is my application's icon in the system tray while its running and a context menu for the icon. I don't really need the main form at all!

Cheers,
