Shell_NotifyIcon() not working for multiple users

Question

Hi,

I have created one sample application, in which i am using tray icon for popup messages. I have two options in tray icon menu, "Enable" and "Disable". For both options i change the image of tray icon using Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_MODIFY, &TrayIcon) but it reflect change for current user only , when i switch to another user,  previous image is shown for tray-icon.

I am accepting both the tray icons to change. Is there any option for this?

Thanks,

You need some inter-session communication like global kernel objects or named pipe, Shell_NotifyIcon only affect the current user.
