When running a console application... is there any func that allow when minimized the exe... it will minimize to System Tray instead of task bar.

You can use NotifyIcon class to show/hide icon in system tray, when minimizing to system tray you just have to hide the application window and show when system tray menu item is hit.

The only difference in console and windows form is the window type, so I am assuming that your current and remaining problem is 'how to hide the console' while setting it to tray icon, correct ?

You will have to go Win32 way here, using FindWindow (you know console caption) & ShowWindow API, you can use PInvoke to call Win32 API.
