Shell Program to System Tray
How would I do this. Like run a program with the shell command, then put it in the system tray when I click a button?

You will have to get the handle of the spawned window with an API, probably either GetWindow or GetActiveWindow http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ctiveWindow.asp and pass that as the hWnd value to the system tray function.
