In Windows the System tray is usually found on the right hand side of the taskbar bar. It contains icons like the clock, volume adjuster, network connection, antivirus. Programs that tend to always be running sit in here and dont take up room on the normal taskbar.

Messages can pop up from here as well saying things are out of date and need updating, or you have lost your network connection.

To adjust some of the settings in Vista you can right click the task bar, click properties, click notification area.
