Handy “Minimize to tray” application
How come some programs can turn into a neat lil’ icon near the clock and keep running in
the background, while others insist on cluttering up your screen?

For ages I’ve been wondering why you can’t have a mail client program like Outlook Express
as an icon minimized in the system tray so it’s always running but not actually cluttering up
the desktop and taskbar.

Yesterday I finally found how to run a dictionary CD off the HD, so today I decided to do
some serious tray minimizing too.

It looks like there are several progs that you can install to add a minimizing function to just
about any window. This is the one I’m using at the mo, very nifty, simple to use, and free
too:
