Actually, to be more precise: the _icon_ itself always appears in the
top area. However, you might be interested how to display the _bubble
itself_ in the top area as well.
In order to achieve that, please use the following GUID in your
SHNOTIFICATIONDATA.clsid field:
{ 0x99de7411, 0x772f, 0x43d0, { 0x81, 0xf0, 0x66, 0x83, 0x36, 0xca,
0x65, 0x1b } }
Kind regards,
