Hello All,

I want to make my VB.NET Win App a task bar application, like the Messenger
applications, active with an icon to near the clock.. How do I do this with
VB.NET.

Thanks in advance

The Notify Icon control is much eaiser to use than compared to putting a VB
form into the system tray in VB6
