I've done some work on PowerPro Tray support:  I'm referring to the 
pprotray.exe program which lets you put tray icons on active bars 
and on menu tray (I am _not_ referring to  *TrayIcon).

These fixes will only be helpful for W2K and XP.

In testing on XP, the new versions fixed problems with hidden tray 
icons and  eliminated an explorer instability (which happened with 
tray icons with >64 character tool tips when you showed these tips 
in the system tray).

However, I only have a few program which had these problems to test 
with so testing is limited.

If someone would like to test more, please do the following and let 
me know the results. 

1.  Reconfigure PowerPro so that it is not using tray icons on 
active bars.

2.  Remove tray icon support from registry (likely installed 
manually if you are using XP or W2K).

3.  Reboot your system and shutdown PowerPro if it starts at boot.

4.  Download the following into your PowerPro folder
http://www.windowspowerpro.com/download/powerprotray.zip

5.  Take backup copies of your current powerpro.exe, pprotray.exe, 
and pprotray.dll (eg just copy the files using explorer).

6.  Unzip powerprotray.zip which should give you new versions of 
these three programs.

7.  Start Pprotray.exe by double clicking in explorer.

8.  Reconfigure powerpro to put tray icons on active bars.

9.  Start PowerPro.  Try starting program which display tray icons 
to ensure your system is stable and active icons appear.

10.  If all seems well, re-install tray support and reboot.

If you try this, please let me know what happens.
