That is not a tool bar. The tool bar is row of icons across the top of most programs just below the menu bar.

That is the System Tray, so you want to create a System Tray icon.

What technology are you using? WIN32 API, MFC, .NET ?

It is possible in all of these and reasonably simple.

Try looking up Shell_NotifyIco n or the NotifyIcon tool from the .NET tool box in the design view of an application.
