Yes I had used that component and as I remember it didn't function
quite the way others do in this respect. That's why I was fooled by the
behavior of this one from Raize! It also had a close to Tray method if I'm
not mistaken which would override the close system menu and that was a big
help itself! Unfortunately I have not been able to get shellshock to work
under D2006.

When I was at TurboPower we struggled with precisely this question in
desgining the "Tray Icon" component for SysTools (the component was
later shifted to the ShellShock product).
Some folks wanted it one way, some the other and it was not a clear win
for either side, so we elected to make it optional.
I don't recall precisely how we did it (I'd have to dig out the
StTrIcon.pas code to review), but it's possible.
