I am making my own taskbar which will replace the default windows one. How do I get a list of everything that is in the system tray (notification area)?

FindWindow with the classname Shell_TrayWnd can get you this information. Here are two sample C++ projects

If you are trying to create an icon in the notification area (usually near the clock in the taskbar), see the NotifyIcon class. The docs have an example for creating a notification icon with a context menu.
