Interestingly when searching on how this might be able to be done I did happen to stumble across this application... "
Move Start & System Tray" now
this app wont fix the issue but what is interesting is that it does appear to be able to move the system tray along the taskbar, I fired this up on win7 64bit, and it animated the system tray along the taskbar from the far left back tot he far right, unfortunately hitting stop just places it back in its default location.
But it does prove that such a thing can potentially be achieved.
I found also
this thread which appears to be the source code of the application above written in VB.
In the source code there looks like there is a call to place the system tray back to its default location when stopped, im no VB guru but if someone here has some VB knowledge maybe this might help towards creating an app that could do what we wish to achieve. :)
