vd2005 form title bar - what is round icon to left of control box?

Hello,

I noticed a round looking icon with a downward chevron symbol immediately to
the left of the control box on the form title bar.  When I click it the form
seems to unload - whether in debug mode or standalone.  Does this icon do
anything more than the close form icon?  Is there a way to eliminate it
without eliminating the control box?  Do I want to eliminate it? 

Thanks,
Rich

Well, normally forms have up to 3 buttons that make up the control
box; minimize, maximize/normal and close (in that order). 

Even though this is a text group, this would be one instance that  a
small screen capture of that phantom icon might be warranted.
