I'm working on a systemtray icon also. I can point you to two places:

http://www.codetools.com/shell/systemtray.asp#Construction

These guys use a wrapper program to simplify the icon

These guys also have a downloadable app

My suggestion would be to not call the draw function on the taskbar. Hopefully these apps will help you out. If you know of any better refrences post them here.

Here is quite a simple example of Putting an Icon in the system tray:

The only thing I found with the example was in Windows 2000 you really need to call SetForegroundWindow(hWnd) before the call to TrackPopupMenu(GetSubMenu(...), ...) otherwise the right click popup menu won't go away when you press ESC or click somewhere else.
