I have 12.

4 visible (XP hidden systray icons enabled).

Those 12 are:

Internet Gateway Status (Networking Icon)
Trillian Pro 3
Spybot S&D TeaTimer
Local Area Connection Status (Networking Icon)
Phone Connection Link (Tool for my Sony Ericsson P900 connection)
Mousekeys (Currently disabled)
Volume (Don't know why, never use it, since my speakers are SPDIF, none of this s hit matters)
AVG Free Edition Version 7
UltraMon 2.5.22.0 (Not cracked, I bought it when I was drunk, it's invaluable seeing as I have 3 monitors)
Virtual DAEMON Manager 3.44
Media Server (Actually superflous to requirement, I set it up for my ex-girlfriend to connect to my Media Centre share)
ATITool (Dynamic RADEON Overclocking baby!)
