Just right-click on the small icon and choose Hide when Minimized to eliminate Outlook from the regular taskbar.\n\nOther applications can be sent there with an application named Actual Title Buttons. It cost  $19.95, but a 60 day trial can be downloaded from:\n\nhttp://www.actualtools.com/titlebuttons/
