Chris,

Thanks... that's really neat! Once you have the icon ID is there any way
to "read" the icon? I mean get its HICON or something, for copying. I've
tried getting the Rect for TrayNotifyWnd and then scanning within there
using ChildWindowFromPointEx but the icons don't appear to be "child
windows" or anything. And I can't find any docs that explain how those
icons are stored. Any ideas?
