A way to ensure that a system tray icon is removed… guaranteed

Question

Is there a way to guarantee that your system tray icon is removed?

To add the system tray icon you do:

Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &m_tnd);
         


        

Answer 1

You could have a separate, simpler (and thus presumably more robust) program which monitors your application. This program could actually launch your program and then monitor the process. Yeah, this is a very ugly solution.
