TrayIt

TrayIt is a utility that enables you to minimize any program into the system tray instead of the taskbar. Have you ever used a program that you needed to keep always running, but for some reason it would only minimize to the taskbar rather than the system tray? This was always the case when I

RocketDock

I’m perfectly happy with my Windows machine. I don’t want a Mac. If I got a Mac as a gift I would probably return it and get a PC instead. That being said, I am all ga-ga over this Mac OS X style docking-launcher, probably the best of its kind. I’m using it on both
