Did you read the documentation for NOTIFYICONDATA yet?  It tells you exactly 
how to do that:

    NOTIFYICONDATA Structure
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb773352(VS.85).aspx

In a nutshell, on XP SP2 and later, you can set the uFlags member to 
NIF_INFO to enable a balloon tooltip, set the dwInfoFlags member to 
NIIF_USER to specify a custom icon, and then put your custom icon into the 
hIcon member.  On Vista and later, there is a new hBalloonIcon member that 
you can use instead of the hIcon member.
