i'd like to create an application which would run in the background, & there'd be an icon in the system tray (can use the notify icon). But HOW can i make the form invisible. What i'd like to do is, when the exe is run, ONLY the icon should appear in the system tray & nothing else. & if necessary the user can click on the icon & there'd be a menu to load the necessary forms. How can i do this.

The company has since issued a new version of "MyCompany.ico" that looks completely different. I overwrote the old ico file with the new ico file and re-ran the program. I still see the old logo at run-time. I right-clicked the project-> Add Existing Item-> added the new ico file. I set the build action to Embedded...

But I want the users to double-click the installation file and not have to go to the Services and select the checkbox. So I used this example...

....and can't get it back. I think there may be a bug in Vista. Twice now, when drawing the cursor across an Icon in the "Computer" window, the cursor has picked up the Icon and when it slid under the frame of the window, the file and/or device disappeared from the computer. It did not go into the trash. It just vanished. In the case of the file, I was able to restore it from a removable drive. In the case of my DVD-CD Rom, I have...

So if I write a dot net application that I deploy as a service, am I "allowed" to have a systemtray icon? It works in XP, as long as the service is installed with the interact with desktop setting is maintained. But I have reason to believe that maybe the stricter world of Vista will not allow the system trayicon to be managed from a service, or maybe there's a trick to it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
