AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION
Minimize any window to the system tray, and then restore
it with a hotkey or a couple of mouse clicks,
with this unobtrusive utility.
Being able to send an application or window to the system
tray is very helpful,
as it enables you to avoid Taskbar clutter without closing
anything.
However, not all programs (as programs with higher privileges)
can be sent to the tray area.
Once you've launched the application,
you can minimize any window to the tray area by just pressing
Alt+F1
while it is in the foreground.
To restore the last hidden window, simply press
Alt+F2.
A full list of all the minimized applications can be accessed
by right-clicking the
MinimizeToTray
icon.
If you click on any of the items in the list,
the windows will be restored.
You can also maximize all of them with a single mouse click
or by pressing
F10.
The only indication that the program is running is the icon
displayed in the system tray.
If you don't minimize more than one window at a time,
you can use the application entirely with keyboard shortcuts,
so it shouldn't interfere with your work.
