How to: Create a system tray icon, a service in windows ?

Hi,
I was given the challenge to create a system tray icon with LabVIEW 6.i.
Some kind of service running under Windows XP or Windows 2000.
I want to make a program in LabVIEW that is running in the background the whole time and that everytime the user clicks on the system tray icon, some kind of form opens in which you can give some data. It should also display a notification every hour or so. I appreciate any help you could give me.
Thanks
Mamian

LV doesn't natively provide a way do this, so it's tricky. You will have to control the windows API. I don't know of any free VIs which do this, but I do know that G toolbox is supposed to be able to do this.
If you still want to do this alone, I think your best bet is probably searching google (here's an example I found).
