How to bypass duplicate tray icon in C#?

Question

C++ / C#

Good evening. Faced such problem:
There are two forms:
1. Form1. Attached to it are trayIcon and trayIconMenu
2. Form2. The form from which I need to reach the trayIconMenu and change the text in one of the menu items (menuItem1).
I do the following in Form2:
Form f2 = new Form1();
As a result, I get two icons in the tray. Why is this happening - I understand. When Form1 is created, a trayIcon attached to it is automatically generated. How can this be bypassed?
Thanks

What exactly is your question? How to get a link to the first from the second form? You can pass the dependency on creation, you can through Application.OpenForms["Form1Name"]. Be more specific about your problem and show your code.
