LiquidOrgasm:

Just like any other window:
Click the minimize button (_) in the upper right hand corner of the window.
--- or ---
Right click on the title bar of the window and select "Minimize".
--- or ---
Right click on taskbar button and select "Minimize".

you cannot.....Minimize spybot to the tray icon. That tray icon from spybot is the resident teatimer. However, you can minimize spybot like spybot fan suggested, but you can not minimize the entire program to the tray icon. Hope that helps you. :)

Also, for security reasons, NEVER post your email address online unless log in requires it. Thats what the forums are for in the first place.

I tried everything

Just like any other window:
* Click the minimize button (_) in the upper right hand corner of the window.
--- or ---
* Right click on the title bar of the window and select "Minimize".
--- or ---
* Right click on taskbar button and select "Minimize".

when I right click on the taskbar button Minimize is in grey, cannot use, and when I use the minimize button on the top right of spybot it stays in my taskbar, same with doing it the title bar way...any ideas??

You would minimize (hide it from focus) just like any other program. The taskbar is the place where the clock and the other program icons are. Spybot-Search&Destroy cannot minimize itself to the taskbar (become a icon and the program tab disappears).

The only reason that the "Minimize" option is grayed out is because the program window is already minimized.

Thank you for your replies! But you think SpyBot would have a feature to minimize the icon down to the taskbar ? Why can't SpyBot minimize itself to the taskbar? This would be a great feature! :)
