Vista - Maximize windows, hide to tray, pin to desktop, restore tray icons after explorer crash

I am using Vista x64 and all my favorite programmes I had been using in WinXP x32 don't work any longer - ps tray factory, autosizer
(autosizer works in vista x32, but doesn't work properly in x64 vista), filefox extender. I really need some alternatives, but I
can't find anything. I need the following functions:

- maximize windows by class name
- pin windows to desktop so that they stay in the foreground and are not hidden by other windows
- hide applications to tray (to the left of the clock in the taskbar)
- restore tray icons after explorer crash (some of them disappear)

All these functions are available through 3rd party programmes, but not for Vista x64. Heeeelp please!

Could you please give URLs for these programs you use.

I use Sizer for window sizing to specific sizes, but I have no idea if it
works with Vista 64-bit.
