I'm just guessing (I'm no wizard), but isn't it Explorer which controls the taskbar and system tray? (Kill all explorer processes and you'll see you're desktop and taskbar being removed).
As such, manipulating the system tray is actually manipulating Explorer's memory space/process (maybe not technically correct, but for the lack of better explaination). And if you make an error in that space (eg: reading/writing to a memory page which is locked), Explorer will crash.
