Had a really hard time finding a good answer to this, finally found it in a really old book. On my Forms application, just opened the program.cs and changed

Application.Run(new Form1());

to

Form1 f = new Form1();
f.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
f.ShowInTaskbar = false;
Application.Run(f);

and it opens without a flicker directly to the tray. This app was more just a service, so set it to just have a notify icon and exit button when right clicked. Hope this helps!!
