SnT Thursday – Tray It!

This is one of small but useful tools that I have been using for some time.  

allows to save precious Taskbar space for minimized windows. For each application which applies TrayIt! it creates a small icon in the System Tray. (System Tray area is located near the Clock). When application's window is minimized this icon represents the application on the Taskbar instead of the regular "minimized rectangle".

It is particularly useful for background tasks you typically keep running on your PC all day long like your favorite E-mail client, Real Player, etc.

Try It! has improved since my last post, it has a much nicer UI.  Even though it is only in beta , it has been very stable for me and worth the risk.  Here is the new improved list of applications running

I have circled the features that I have set.  I am always up for single clicking instead of that double stuff, except for Lotus Notes double right click!

For some applications like Microsoft Active Sync or Google Talk there is already a system try icon, so selecting the option not to show in the system tray just makes sense.
