When the user minimizes the form set it to

Me.Visible = False

You will then need to use a NotifyIcon control to display an icon in the tray.

Then in the MouseDown event of the NotifyIcon control use the following

If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then

Me.Visible = True

Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal

End If
