The status area is called the Notification area. In earlier versions
of Windows it was called the system tray.


Sorry to disagree, Wes, but it was *always* called both: officially the
Notification Area, but informally the System Tray. Even back in Windows 95
days, System Tray was just an informal name for it.

See here, for example: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/149276/

or here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/176085

I used to have an even clearer reference to a Microsoft site demonstrating
this, but I can't seem to put my fingers on it.

From the Windows XP Glossary in Help and Support...

notification area
[[The area on the taskbar to the right of the taskbar buttons. The
notification area displays the time and can also contain shortcuts
that provide quick access to programs, such as Volume Control and
Power Options. Other shortcuts can appear temporarily, providing
information about the status of activities. For example, the printer
shortcut icon appears after a document has been sent to the printer
and disappears when printing
is complete.]]

Taskbar notification area overview
[[The notification area of the taskbar is where you usually see the
current time displayed. This area can become crowded with
notification icons that appear when certain events occur, such as
when you receive e-mail or when you open Task Manager. Windows
displays a notification icon when an event occurs. After a short
time, Windows puts the icon in the background to simplify that area.
You can access the icons that have been placed in the background by
clicking a button in the notification area.]]

The right-hand side of the taskbar is called the "Notification Area"
in XP, not the System Tray.

The right-hand side of the Taskbar is called the System Tray & as
Rock (MVP
SHELL LOL) will tell you the System Tray is part of the
'Shell_TrayWnd' class. The class where the system tray icons reside
is 'ToolbarWindow32'. Now, Rock has learnt something too LOL

When you minimize Task Manager does it gets minimized to the RIGHT
HAND SIDE OF THE TASKBAR where you can see the clock, network
lights etc. If yes then

Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl Alt Del > Click Task Manager OR
Click Start > Run Type there taskmgr

Click on Options UNCHECK "Hide when minimized"
I think this will resolve the issue.

I can run task manager fine. However, when I minimize it, it does
not go to the system tray.
My Task Manager "Options" are:
Always on Top (I also tried this unchecked)
Minimize on Use (I also tried this unchecked)
Hide when minimized

Furthermore, I checked Start | Right-Click | Properties | Taskbar
| Customize to see Task Manager had a setting in "Customized
Notifications" and Task Manager had no entries in this area,
though there were entries for several other applications.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Daniel
