working minimized

[Lukas Beltrame]

can anyone tell me if there's a way to close the outlook
and have it run minimized on my notification area (area
where the clock and volume control is located) instead of
my taskbar.

what i'm trying to do is leave my outlook running
checking my email account constantly but not have it
minimized on my taskbar but only have an icon on the
notification area.

thank you all!

You need to go into the registry to add a new key, to do this go to Start >
Run > type "regedt32" without the quotes and drill down to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Preferences > from
the Edit menu select New Key of type DWORD value named "MinToTray" (exactly
as spelt minus the quotes) and give it a value of 1. Close regedt32. You
will need to restart Outlook if it was open for the changes to become
effective.

Note working in the registry can be dodgy and you may want to take a backup
first, this can be done from the file menu choosing export.
