Is there some way that I can put an application to system tray on startup. This application is a proprietry application and I cannot access the code, it has to just minimise and sit on the system tray.. How can I do that.

No, you can't do this. You can start it minimized, but you can't place an icon in the taskbar notification area (it's not and has never been called the "system tray"). – Cody Gray Jun 24 '11 at 12:01

@Cody Gray: You have no idea how often it is called the "system tray". (Yes, I know the name is technically incorrect, but... meh, this is not the best place for that.) – grawity Jun 24 '11 at 13:55
When you minimize said application, does it automatically go to the notification area, or is this a feature you want to add to the application? – Breakthrough Jun 24 '11 at 15:11
