I'm not an expert, but your ideas sound fine.
One thought is to place all the goodies into a DLL

The CPL and Vista exe whould be set to auto-load the DLL for full
functionality.

The Taskbar exe would be set to delay load the DLL so it could be very
small (load quickly on startup, use minimal memory) then bring in the
full functionality when the user requests it.
