Min2Tray1.7.9 / 1.7.10 Beta 2

Keeping multiple windows opened at the same time can clutter the desktop, as well as the taskbar on minimization. A workaround for this is to send some of the windows to the system tray instead, since they occupy little space there thanks to small icons.Min2Tray is a tiny Windows app with this goal in mind: helping you better organize opened windows by sending them to the notifications area instead of the taskbar. It requires no installation and silently runs in the systray, awaiting your command.

Minimize windows to tray and declutter the taskbar

Unless you read the documentation included in the downloaded package, you can get started by heading over to the preferences panel for configuration. Casual users might be overwhelmed by the amount of options presented, which are surely a delight for users looking for every bit of control.For example, you can ask Min2Tray to send windows to the systray when right-clicking the close button and when activating a particular hotkey.

Put together a bosskey list to control multiple windows at once

A bosskey list can be created with multiple windows to apply the same action to all of them at the same time. In blacklist mode, the tool minimizes all windows you have opened on the PC, except for the ones in the bosskey list. Whitelist mode is vice versa (minimizes only windows from the bosskey list).There's also a topmost option for minimizing all windows except for the one you are currently working with. If you want to hide the tray icons of minimized windows, you can switch to stealth mode. It's also possible to create a list of windows to automatically minimize to tray when Windows starts.Taking everything into account, Min2Tray comes in handy to any skilled PC users interested in easily controlling the windows of any running application.
