Hi<br />
<br />
I'm trying to write to write a very simple windows program in C. <br />
<br />
All I want it to do is run, and as long as its running display an icon of my choice in the system tray. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I've never written a visual program in C before, I need some pointers on where to start and maybe some example code.<br />
<br />
PS I don't want to use any other language<br />
<br />

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
