Try using Visual C++ 6
Check in the toolbox there should be something about tray icons.

I also remember C# had a much more convenient way of tray icons.

If you have MFC you could use :

CPP / C++ / C Code:

CSystemTray m_TrayIcon;   // Member variable of some class

// in some member function maybe...
m_TrayIcon.Create(pParentWnd, WM_MY_NOTIFY, "Click here", 
                  hIcon, nTrayIconID);

check out this article on the Code Project :
