* Disregard the code below. I misunderstood... you said taskbar, I think you mean system tray. I dont think anyone's got the Shell_NotifyIcon API working in B+ yet, so the answer is no.*

On q #2

Program & Taskbar Icon Curtosey of Binary Moon:
; Userlib
.lib "user32.dll"
GetActiveWindow%():"GetActiveWindow"
SetClassLong%( hWnd, nIndex, dwNewLong ):"SetClassLongA"

.lib "shell32.dll"
LoadIcon%(hWND%,File$,Index%) : "ExtractIconA"

; Code (Put right after parent window is created)
hWnd=GetActiveWindow() 
icon=LoadIcon(hWnd,"x.ico", 0)
SetClassLong(hwnd,-14,icon)

No, GetAsyncKeyState will return a value if you specify the PrintScreen virtual key code -- not ASCII -- of $2C (44).
CreateTimer(60)
Repeat
	Select WaitEvent()
		Case $4001
		Print GetAsyncKeyState(44)
	End Select
Forever

Keep in mind, there are disadvantages to using this method, though.
