That is because you are changing the tray icon in both calls.  You did not 
say which OS you are running.  NIIF_USER only works on XP SP2 and later. 
For XP SP1 and earlier, NIIF_USER has no effect, thus you cannot apply 
custom icons.  In Vista, use the nid.hBalloonIcon member instead of 
nid.hIcon.

Only because you are changing the nid.hIcon member in SetBalloonTip(), and 
then changing it back in SetSysTrayIcon().  Which would suggest that 
NIIF_USER does not work on your system.
