Is there a program for hiding programs from taskbar to system tray? I was hoping that Windows 7 will be able to do it itself but I can't find it.

Tray It!
Tray It! is free and seems to work fine on Windows 7 32bit; there are some issues on Windows 7 64bit.
So far I am impressed with "4t Tray Minimizer" (and I am using it on 64-bit Windows 7.) Good wizard to get you started too.
The comments in eXtra Buttons suggest several people have had trouble with it.
I think you will need a 3rd party application to do this. A Google search for "run in system tray utility" returned several results. (mostly shareware, not freeware).
As an aside, that area is correctly called the notification area, not the tray.
I would suggest eXtra Buttons. It's quite simple to setup, customize and use.
