Can anyone point me in the direction of an article (or whatnot) explaining
how to program the Windows System Tray within the Task Bar - specifically
how to put an icon in there for a WinForms app.

I'm realling hoping this is something that can be done easily though native
.NET (rather than a bunch of P/Invokes) - but if not, that's no problem
either.

Thanks everyone!

Use the NotifyIcon component.

Ahh nice one!

Thanks Mattias - everything I was hoping for and more. I love it when there
managed classes to do all this stuff!
