Ahmad Batiran Feb 1, 2008:
I really urge you to use Microsoft's. They created the English term 'system tray' for their own OS and they themselves considered BOTH translations into Arabic. Why two? I don't recommend searching much, it wouldn't be a big deal. Good luck!
Amira Mansour Feb 1, 2008:
This is one of the definitions that I've found:
صينية النظام: منطقة من شريط المهام تظهر عليها الساعة و اللغة والبرامج التي تعمل في الخلفية
Amira Mansour Feb 1, 2008:
Actually, I've found a lot of google hits about the term "صينية النظام". I couldn't write it as an answer because I'm not totally convinced of this Arabic term. I just wanted to indicate to a term which is frequently used in the IT field.

أدوات النظام - علبة النظام

I found both in the MS glossary, so choose which is more related or most suitable from your point of view. You can download MS glossary from the link below. It is Microsoft terminology spreadsheet with translations for over 40 languages, includes Windows Vista and Office 2007 terms.
Arabic should be one of them.
