TrayIt! - Hide any application to the system tray!
TrayIt! creates an icon in system tray and hides selected minimized windows from the taskbar. Use TrayIt! while you surf in your office. You can then hide them in system tray when necessary.
Had you try Firefox plugin called MinimizeToTray before? After you activate this plugin, when you minimize your Firefox, it will automatically hide itself from the taskbar and will create an icon in the system tray. Basically, TrayIt! has similar feature with MinimizeToTray, but TrayIt! can apply to all application!
There are few ways that you can use TrayIt:
- Press the <Shift> key when minimizing the window to temporary put it in the system tray. This will hide it from the taskbar.
- To always put the application in the system tray when minimized, right click the application icon in the system tray created in the previous step and check “Place in System Tray” in the popup menu.
- Right click on any minimize button will also bring up the TrayIt! context menu and you can check “Place in System Tray” also.
When you open the TrayIt! window, there are more options that you can choose. You can hide, show, and place application in system tray. If you double click on the application, you can then set the advance features for minimize options.
The screenshot above shows some options that can be set. For example, you can check Use Single-click on the tray icon, the default is double-click. Another feature that i would recommend you to set is Minimize when in Foreground, activate when in Background. This feature let you hide or activate applications quickly by clicking on the tray icon.
TrayIt! works on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista. You can check out their website for latest version. I would recommend you to try out this application if you like to open several browser at one time or trying to hide something to your boss during office hour.
Try out this freeware and you will find it is really cool!
