And just how does one do that?

I think it would be a lot more useful if Outlook could run in the

the task bar.

Frankly, this is a nonsensical request, since I can't see what difference it
makes whether the handle for Outlook is on the taskbar or in the system
tray. You still need a handle and operationally it's identical. Your PC's
resources are equally used wherever the handle is. Its position is merely
"window dressing".

For Outlook 2003 (and 2007, I believe), right-click the Outlook icon in the
Notification Area and select "Hide When Minimized". For Outlook 2002, it's
a registry setting. See http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/mintotray.htm .
For other versions of Outlook, it's not possible.

I have Outlook 2002 on Windows 2000, followed the registry changes - worked
perfectly - thank you!
