Hello,
I am trying to create a windows service. Can anyone give me an
idea how to create an icon on the systems tray for the service?

Thanks,

Normally a windows service is not allowed to interact with the users
desktop... The easiest way to achieve what your trying to accomplish is
to write the service and then write a separate app that sits in the
system tray and communicates with the service. One possibility is for
the service to publish a remote object that the tray app could use as
the connection point for the communication...
