There are two ways of approaching this:

The more common way is provide your application with an icon in the system notification area. When the user clicks on the icon, you can pop-up a menu or a toolbar with the choices you would like the user to have.

The potentially "more correct" way would be to make a deskband for your product. This is actually an extension provided by Internet Explorer and the Active Desktop. If you are running Windows 2000 or ME, or an older version of Windows with the Active Desktop installed, you will notice that you not only have a taskbar, but you can have toolbars, and address bar, and several other bars displayed. Each of these is a deskband which provides some interactive functionality.

The major difference between the two methods is that creating a deskband requires some COM programming. If you are familiar with COM, this should not be an issue. However, there are still many programs out there, such as the ones installed by many video card manufacturers, that add an icon to the system notification area with a pop-up menu.

I hope this helps!
