TrayEverything

TrayEverything, developed by winapizone.net, is an essential tool for anyone looking to optimize their Windows XP, 7, 10, and 11 experience. In its latest version, 1.21, TrayEverything offers a straightforward solution to cluttered toolbars by allowing users to minimize any window to the system tray. This feature is especially useful for applications that do not inherently support such functionality, making it a valuable addition to the System Utilities category, specifically under File Managers.

Users can easily download the program files, which include Everything.exe, TrayEverything.exe, and Everything search portable.exe, ensuring that there is a version that meets every need. TrayEverything effectively keeps your workspace organized and your activities discreet. You can choose to make a window invisible to everyone except yourself, even protecting it with a password if desired.

Another key aspect is its ability to group multiple windows of the same program into one icon, significantly reducing the toolbar’s clutter. Whether you use Windows Live Messenger, antivirus programs like BitDefender or Norton, or other applications that typically occupy the area nearest the clock, TrayEverything can manage them all effortlessly.

One of the most appealing factors of TrayEverything is that it is a free application, making it accessible to anyone interested in improving their system's usability. The main window of the program displays all currently opened windows, allowing you to minimize or hide any window with just two clicks. This capability can be especially handy for maintaining privacy and keeping 'work' confidential.

Other versions of the program, such as 1.3, and 1.2, offer similar functionalities but 1.21 includes the latest enhancements and bug fixes, making it the version of choice for optimal performance.
