Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
       e.Cancel = True
   End Sub

Using the Cancel = true, stops the program from ending, after that you want to add any code for the systemtray icon. I believe you'll want to look at NotifyIcon class.

Just a note, remember that adding e.Cancel = true, although prevents the application from being closed, remember you to take into account when you application is running and a user shuts down their computer, because this will halt the shutdown process.
