Also, if this is the wrong pl...

I already know how to change the desktop wallpaper (i'm doing that already), what I want is a w...
I am happy with Windows 7 RTM x64 overall as everything in my development environment works well with it except for Oracle Client 10.2.0.3 64 Bit version.

Windows 7 allows users to hide/show icons in the "notification area" (aka systray). By default I think they're hidden? Is it possible to programatically (either through the app or through an installer) to force icons to appear? Edit: I'm not looking for a way to override the user's request. What I'm asking, is there a way to INITIALLY...
