Is there a way to place the Task Manager in the System Tray?

Start Task Manager, click the Options menu, make sure there is a check mark in "Hide
When Minimized", then minimize the window and it will go to an icon in the
notification area ("tray").
If you want it to start minimized every time you start Windows (I'm not sure why you
would want to when it is easily accessible with its shortcut keys), you can create a
shortcut to taskmgr.exe, set the shortcut properties to 'minimized', and place the
shortcut in your StartUp folder:

Personally, if I wanted something like that running all the time, I would use
Process Explorer instead, and make a shortcut for it in the StartUp folder:

Keep in mind that putting Task Manager in taskbar will consume memory and
even a little bit processor time. Open Task Manager - click on Process - and
check the entry with "TaskManager" name. You will see how much memory it is
consuming. Ask yourself that how many times you open Task Manager in a day.
If you use it a lot then I will still advice you to open it by
right-clicking on Taskbar and then Taskmanger.

I would like to start Task Manager minimized. I have used
Start>Accessories>System Tools>Scheduled Tasks to do this. There is room for
a parameter but it is not documented what it should be. I think it is tidier
when minimized and the icon in the notification area is usually all the info
that I need.

The command from a Command Prompt is:
start /min c:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe
....or you could create a shortcut to the same [taskmgr.exe] and in the
shortcut's properties change the "Run" type under the "shortcut" tab to 'Run
minimized' thus when this shortcut is clicked on it will always start
'minimized' However, in both cases, if you want it to start in the 'System
Tray' only - then you have got to check the 'Hide when minimized' item in
the Task Manager's program menu under 'Options' first.
