    Hi,
    Is there any program(free) that can simulate OS X's menu extras as an alternative of a system tray?
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    I don't understand what you mean. You mean have the icons in the notification area of your Windows task bar appear at the top right corner of your screen just like OS X's menu bar??
