            those are implemented as dockable windows called DeskBands. I didn't dig much into it. See here. In Win7, better to use a taskbar button with a thumbnail toolbar, as Deskbands are no longer recommended. From Vista onwards there is a ITrayDeskBand Interface Do CoCreateInstance on this interface, call ShowDeskBand() with CLSID of toolbar which you create to show on task bar. Please let us no how how you are acheiving the task :)

                Give a bit more details about what exactly you are trying to do, please. The taskbar has different areas, in a nutshell: start menu button, quick launch buttons, applications, notification area (also called 'system tray' on MSDN). The last is where programs running in the background can add an icon and programatically change it on runtime, e.g. Winamp, Vuze or instant messengers. Is there anything else... maybe you can show a screenshot or link. :) /Moak

                  We hope you are a normal windows user. Otherwise no need to participate in such forums. No need of screenshot to understand the question. Hope you have seen the media player option in Taskbar(Right click on task bar ->Toolbar->Media player ) check that option and start a media player and minimize the window

                    It will be hard for anyone to help people who are unwilling to communicate or describe what they are looking for. You are not making friends by barking at people who are trying to help in their free time. Could you please be so kind and let us now help user kk.tvm with his original question? /M
