Thanks for offering to help on the taskbar stuff, but let's leave it for now.  
It will be more complicated and require more thorough testing.  No one's 
complained so I don't want to waste our time on it.

The tray stuff is not so simple.  Whereas the context menu and taskbar bar use 
standard Windows features that simply needed a recompile, intercepting the tray 
messages is not standard in Windows and I am not even sure it will work in xp 
64.

What happens if you try?  Note:  you may have to manually create the key 
referenced in by this help info to get it in the 64 bit part of the registry; 
(I don't know if it even applies to xp 64):


The following information is intended only for users who want to understand how 
tray icon support works or who get an error message with automatic tray 
install.  To install tray support, PowerPro must arrange for PProtray.exe to 
run before any other program.

For Win NT/2000/XP, Powerpro arranges to run pprotray.exe from the registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\

Before PowerPro tray support is installed, the subkey UserInit in this key is 
set as follows:
Userinit=C:\WINNT\system32 \userinit.exe,

After PowerPro tray support is installed, this value is set as follows:
Userinit=C:\WINNT\system32 \userinit.exe,C:\Progra~1\PowerPro\pprotray.exe,

The path would change to wherever you have installed PowerPro.
For safety, PowerPro will not install tray support unless if finds UserInit in 
the expected "before" state.  For example, if you installed Windows into a 
different folder, PowerPro will not install tray support automatically.  You 
can install manually by adding

c:\program files\pprotray.exe,
to whatever is there.  Note the comma at the end.  To de-install, delete only 
what you added.
