I know how to manipulate the text in a Taskbar Icon, but can you
display a graphical style progress bar there?
Yes.
Click the StatusStrip object in the bottom margin of the form's Design view.
You'll see an icon displayed on the status bar that can be used to add
additional objects (including a ProgressBar) similar to building a ToolStrip
or a MenuStrip.
Alternatively you can "wrong-click" the status bar and use the Edit Items...
command from the context menu.
