This tutorial will show you how to add a tray icon for Windows Mail. With it, Windows Mail will minimize to the lower right corner tray icon instead of the taskbar. Windows Mail Tray Icon Shawn |

You can then start Windows Mail as usual or by the tray icon, but you have to use the tray icon's right click options to be able to minimize Windows Mail to the tray icon instead of the taskbar. The minimize, maximize, and close buttons, on the Windows Mail window, will work as they always have. Hope this helps, Shawn |

At least this way the program is simple and noninvasive to Vista or Windows Mail. We all know how Windows Mail does with a invasive program.  (haha)Shawn |
