These capabilities include Jump Lists, pinning, live taskbar previews and more. In this screencast, Kate Gregory (@gregcons) provides an overview of these capabilities and demonstrates how to support them in your applications built with the MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class) library. en Sun, 26 May 2013 07:33:48 GMT Sun, 26 May 2013 07:33:48 GMT Rev9 Re: Windows 7 Taskbar Integration for MFC Applications

In other words, your app doesn't have to fail at all !
 
Programs have been doing this for years.

You could maybe try to #include the COM headers with a different WINVER. Or be careful and only use the size constants like NOTIFYICONDATA_V1_SIZE.

 

Too bad MS did not opt for a min and max version solution when they moved to the NTDDI defines.

For what it is worth, I just downloaded the demo VS2010 solution for the Windows 7 Taskbar Demo , compiled and ran it on a Windows XP box, and it ran without any issues.
