Do you love a clutter free taskbar and want to minimize all your opened application to System Tray instead of Taskbar? By default Windows doesn't provide this facility but here I'll tell you about a free, small and excellent utility which can provide this facility.
"PowerMenu" is a free utility which provides this essential feature which Microsoft has not implemented in Windows yet. It adds following 4 extra options in Windows control menu (the menu which appears when you right-click on windows titlebar or its taskbar button):
- Priority
- Transparency
- Always On Top
- Minimize To Tray
You can change window priority which is a feature which Windows Task Manager also provides. Its a critical option and you should not change it unless required.
You can change window transparency:
You can set a window to stay always on top.
And at last which is the main and most important feature of this utility, you can minimize any application to System tray:
As you can see, I have minimized Explorer window to System tray using this utility and I can restore it back any time by double-clicking on its icon in system tray.
So its a must have utility for Windows users and the best part is its free. But you can donate the developer for his hard work.
