Answer 1

This article is about Windows 7 but my guess is that it's quite the same for Win8. Have a look at this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ee624070.aspx

Answer 2

The answer by reinder contains a link that redirects successfully to an article called "The Taskbar" in a group of articles called "Extending the Desktop" on the MSDN site. Within that article there is a section called "Modifying the Taskbar" with a link to the ITaskbarList COM Interface. That interface is said to be implemented by some object that answers to CLSID_TaskbarList. So this is some stuff you can search for to get the rest of the details: ITaskbarList, CLSID_TaskbarList.

As I write this there are also some informative articles showing up under "Related" here.
