Minimize Outlook to the System Tray

This is a great tweak if you frequently have many programs or documents open and you need more space on your Task Bar. A simple setting change will minimize Outlook to the System Tray instead of the Windows Task Bar.


Right Click on the Outlook icon in the System Tray.
On the menu that displays, click/tick Hide when Minimized.

Now when you minimize Outlook, it will now not show on your Task Bar. To display Outlook again after it is minimized, double-click the Outlook icon in the System Tray.
