You should terminate your system tray application "softly", meaning that you send WM_CLOSE message to systray.exe. This way, the systray.exe application is notified that it is about to shut down and has time to remove icon from tray. See link for details: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/178893. Off course, systray.exe must have a valid window which will shut down you app when this message is received.
Hope this helps.
