Minimize Delphi Form to System Tray

I am a Delphi learner. I am looking for solutions so that Delphi MainForm should be minimized to the System Tray instead of Taskbar. On Right Click on the System Tray Icon there should be some menus like "Restore" and "About" and "Help" etc. System Tray Icons will be loaded from Imagelis1 and it will animate. On Clicking on "Restore" the MainForm will be restored, on clicking on "About" "Form2" will be restored and on clicking on "Help" "Foprm3" will be restored. I have found so many solutions on internet like :

This should get you going. Drop a TTrayIcon and a TApplicationEvents on your form. THe following code is from the TTrayIcon - Delphi Example from the docwiki. Use the IDE main menu, and choose Project->View Source, and the line that reads Application.ShowMainFormOnTaskbar := True; to `Application.ShowMainFormOnTaskbar := False;' to keep the application's button from appearing on the Windows Taskbar.

This example uses a tray icon and an application events component on a form. When the application runs, it loads the tray icon, the icons displayed when it is animated, and it also sets up a hint balloon. When you minimize the window, the form is hidden, a hint balloon shows up, and the tray icon is displayed and animated. Double-clicking the system tray icon restores the window.

// Add this to the `TApplicationEvents.OnMinimize` event handler
procedure TForm1.ApplicationEvents1Minimize(Sender: TObject);
begin
  { Hide the window and set its state variable to wsMinimized. }
  Hide();
  WindowState := wsMinimized;

  { Show the animated tray icon and also a hint balloon. }
  TrayIcon1.Visible := True;
  TrayIcon1.Animate := True;
  TrayIcon1.ShowBalloonHint;
end;

// Add this to the `TForm.OnCreate` event handler
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
  MyIcon : TIcon;
begin
  { Load the tray icons. }
  TrayIcon1.Icons := TImageList.Create(Self);
  MyIcon := TIcon.Create;
  MyIcon.LoadFromFile('icons/earth1.ico');
  TrayIcon1.Icon.Assign(MyIcon);
  TrayIcon1.Icons.AddIcon(MyIcon);

  MyIcon.LoadFromFile('icons/earth2.ico');
  TrayIcon1.Icons.AddIcon(MyIcon);
  MyIcon.LoadFromFile('icons/earth3.ico');
  TrayIcon1.Icons.AddIcon(MyIcon);
  MyIcon.LoadFromFile('icons/earth4.ico');
  TrayIcon1.Icons.AddIcon(MyIcon);

  { Set up a hint message and the animation i
