It's tough to rate this, seems more based on opinion for this type of app. It does minimize everything nicely and if you like this sort of function, it's all that. All in all it's a pretty cool app to have and right now I am deciding if it should stay or go but it's caught my interest so I may end up keeping this. It's a decent app either way and yeah, I would recommend it. Free, stable, hey, nothing to lose.

Works great for me so far. I always wanted such a tool to minimize some applications that do not natively support minimize-to-tray feature, e.g. Outlook Express and Notepad.

The application adds extra buttons to your windows (next to the maximize and minimize buttons) The author didn't take into consideration windows XP style gui features. Overall if you are using 2000 or XP in classic mode then its a great application. If not then your better off trying something else.

Another very useful program. Any thing you don't want to clutter in your taskbar can be easily be removed to the system tray! Each with it's own icon.

Great program, but has one small problem that I seem to pick up, after about 2 hours of a window being minimized to the tray it seems to just close or something seems to close it. So, but it doesn't seem to happen every time, and I think it happens on websites that refresh automatically. But all and all its a good program, just make sure you dont have something very important minimized for that long.

It really is the little things that mean a lot..lol Running Sony-Vaio Laptop/P4M-2.2Ghz/Win2k/1024mb ram. While using my system I tend to overdose on separate instances of IE, or other prgms. T4-Tray min. does exactly what it says and perfectly. A bit of a resource hog at 7.4mb while running but great stable program. No ad-spyware. Give it try, I totally recommend it. Note: I Read (not here) some are having probs. with installing certain type of programs getting advpack.dll error. I got it with 4t install Downloaded 4t Tray min. a few days ago (11-1-05) and just tonight got around to install. Work-around: Navigate to Local Settings/Temp folder. and execute the "setup" application. It should work. Great piece of freeware.

This application is a fine implementation of the concept. The only issue (and its a big one) is that it generates random, but regular Windows Explorer issues. This is on an XP SP1 machine patched up to Oct 2004 levels. Remote Desktop is rendered almost completely useless by this application as it often fails to launch correctly. Long story short: If it didn't cause so many OS errors, it'd be perfect!
