Task Bar Icon

[Guest]

I've created an icon for my application. It is in the Solutions Items
folder. The project (app.ico) is the same file and the form's icon is linked
to this icon. The icon shows up just fine on the desktop shortcut but when
the program runs the task bar has the default MS icon, not mine. What am I
doing wrong?

Open your form in the designer, and set its Icon property to the path of the
ico file that's in your project directory.

Make sure the icon in the NotifyIcon instance is pointing to your icon.

This put an icon in the system tray (which I didn't know how to do). Thanks
for the pointer.
