Is that what your users want? I don't like applications that do that (e.g. Lync). When I say "close", just frackin' _close_ already! If I want you to minimize, I'll _tell_ you to minimize.

i think your word is correct for professional users and computer mans. but for the users that they are amateur and are begginner it can be good idea. because they do not know the importance of program.

"they do not know the importance of program"

You don't get to decide that for the users. The users know how important it is for them.

think about the time that user work with antivirus program. when he click on close button the program must not closed because it is important program in computer.

With an antivirus there is usually the background part that the user doesn't interact with (and can't close) and the UI part which he can -- these two parts should not be in the same process.

i believe for some programs it is good.

Well then at least give the user the option.

Refer How to Minimize an Application to the Taskbar Tray in C#[^] and handle it in Form_Closing Event.
