I'm writing a windows app that's designed to run minimized (showing a tray
icon only, not in the taskbar).

Starting the app in normal mode (window Normalized) it takes about 17Mb of
memory, then when I minimize it to the tray this shrinks to 2Mb.

Starting the app window as minimized though consumes the full 17Mb of
memory. If I normalize or maximize the window it stays the same, only
reducing to 2Mb when I minimize it manually.

I want the app to run minimized by default, so I want to start it minimized,
but I can't seem to get this to only consume the 2Mb of memory that it
should.

I'm on framework 2.0. Any advice anyone ?
