    Default Minimize to Tray

    Hi. I've been using Spybot for ages and it's a great program. There is a feature I would love to see in a future release. (i'm sorry if it is already in, but after poking around in the advanced settings i couldn't find one). I would love to see a 'Minimize to tray' option, so that it dosn't take up my taskbar while Spybot is running. I would have added a tracker but i wasn't completely sure how, so I added here as the help said.

    Thanks for a great program.

    What do you mean when you say you want Spybot-SD to minimized? You can minimize, maximize, or close the main window of Spybot-SD. Simple. Say like you would like to minimize Spybot-SD during a scan... you would just click the "dashed" button on the upper-right corner of the window.

    Hello,

    Please use the following shortcuts to solve the problem:
    to maximize - press Windows Hotkey + m
    to minimize - press Windows Hotkey + shift + m

    Best regards

    sorry, it seems i didn't make myself clear. You can minimize the program, however it still shows on the task bar. Some programs have an option so that when you minimize, the taskbar section disappears and only an icon in the 'Tray' stays. This is what I would like to see!

    It seems that Spybot-SD does not have the function. But I would like to ask why would you even need that function for? It is because you have too many programs cluttered on your taskbar?

    pretty much. I just don't like a clustered task bar. I would prefere for it to be an icon in the system tray. More convienient in my opinion.
