The tray icon initially is registered by the "owner" application by using
the Shell_NotifyIcon API function (->shell32.dll)
Maybe you could de-register it from a different application, but I don't
think you will be able to activate it again aftwerwards.

I don't think I have seen any application that removes the taskbar icon
when maximized. I can't see a reason to do this.

i agree, most seem to stay until "exit".
Total Commander and ASUS Probe does what i meen.
... but there mus be something else while TC is also in Tasklist
so you can use ALT-Tab (Enter) to "maximize" it from Tray.
... it is not a "common Way", but i like it

Ah... I have Asus Probe installed on my home PC, but never noticed this.

Is total commander in the task bar as well?

I would stay with SWB (standard windows behaviour), simply because most
users are used to it.
