I want to create an application that will start off in the system tray without any initial form being displayed. The problem is that I can't seem to create such an application without including a NotifyIcon control on a form.

Isn't there any way to start an application in the system tray without the use of a form? Obviously I could just create an invisible form and have the NotifyIcon control on there but it seems a little unnecessary. Isn't there any other way?
