Hide Form on Startup

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi,
I have an application which, when running, is to be seen only in the system
tray as a right-clickable icon.

However I want the main Form window itself to immediately disappear without
having to be minimized.

I have tried putting
this.Hide();
in the Load method, but that doesn't work (the form still comes up and needs
to be minimized).
I've also tried it (the Hide() code) before and after the
InitializeComponent() call, but that didn't help either.

What is the correct technique to make an application disappear without
having to be automatically minimized?

Thank-you for your help!

Regards,
Raj
