After application minimizes, cannot right click entry on the task bar.

Hrm.. ok, do you know how to manually add enteries to the
system menu
for my application?

Also, I am experiencing some issues when I use -my- minimize
button,
that when the application is restored, certain dialogs no
longer appear
(seems to be random). Would not having the form border also
affect this
issue?

That would be why.  The system menu is just a reflection of
the form's
dialog border controls.  You'd have to manually add/remove
entries from
the system menu for your application.
