Hi, I was wondering it was possible to write a program that runs from the System Tray in Windows XP. For example, AVG runs all the time, but is on the System trey, so you don't worry about it until you need it. I was wondering if it's possible to do anything like that with a java app. I know it can be done on Ubuntu (I haven't done it, but I've seen it before), and I wanted to know if Windows would let me do this....
