The Form.Closed event is where cleanup operations like this will normally be 
placed.  You can also trap Application.ApplicationExit, or put the code just 
after your main call to "Application.Run".

While the engine should make the best effort to call all finalizers prior to 
exit, the standard makes no guarantee.  If you need something to happen on 
exit, then you must arrange for it to be called explicitly.
