Minimizing Outlook 2000 to the systray in Windows 2000 Pro
 |
Hello people I have bit of a question as google seems to be providing me with nothing but useless registry changes to fix my problem.
Well problem is this, I have to be able to constantly be aware of any email I receive while at work as most people do. I do how ever usually need to also have alot of windows open. Having one less window down there would be nice. I have searched google and found a few registry entries that are suppose to work with the 2002 version but they appear to not work with 2000. If anyone knows of a working reg change to get Outlook 2000 into my windows 2000 pro systray I would appreciate it. Any other means would also be fine aslong as it doesnt require me to use software as this workstation is under strict rules about what software is allowed on it. Thanks in advance for the help

Totalidea makes a program called MinimizerXP that minimizes ANY application to the system tray. Despite its name, it works on Windows 2000 as well as XP. Here's a link: http://www.totalidea.com/frameset-minixp.htm
Im sure the program works great but unfortunately I am under company policy and am unable to install software that is not on our companies approved list :cry:
To minimize it to the system tray, start regedit and follow the steps below:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Office \ 10.0 \ Outlook \ Preferences
New Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value Name: MinToTray
Data: 1 (0 to disable MinToTray)
Close regedit and your good to go.

Value Name: MinToTray
Data: 1 (0 to disable MinToTray)
Close regedit and your good to go.
will that work for outlook 2002? if not could you let me know how. i would really like to do this for my workstation as well. i am using win2K with outlook XP
Not sure about 2002, but it does work for 2000.
Let me test it on 2002 real quick.
UPDATE:
Yes it works with 2002 (Outlook XP)
