    If anyone out there knows how to make a system tray application in VB6 (NOT VB.net), please tell me. (or if you know how to make it in VC++6 and the code could be translated to VB6 easily, please tell me, I'm learning C++ and I know enough I could translate anything to VB.) I've tried searching msdn.microsoft.com but all I found was how to make it with the Visual Studio.net NotifyIcon class. Or if anyone can tell me if they know just what it involves, if there are Windows APIs for it, etc. please fill me in.

    Ah...here's a problem: It requires shellapi.h and shell32.lib in C++. There's shell32.dll, which I might be able to import into VB...
