Minimize anything to the Windows system tray with Trayconizer
Here's how it works. You unzip Trayconizer to a folder on your PC. Let's say it's C:\Trayconizer. Now all you have to do is insert Trayconizer into the target field of a program shortcut. For example if you want to be able to minimize Firefox to the system tray, you would right-click on the shortcut for Firefox and insert the path to Trayconizer.exe before the path to Firefox.exe. It should read something like
"c:\trayconizer\trayconizer.exe" c:program files\mozilla\firefox.exe
You can also use XNeat, a program we covered a while back, to minimize running programs to the system tray. But Trayconizer has the advantage of running automatically every time you launch a program so that all you have to do is click the minimize button.

Doesn't work with Thunderbird, or maybe I did it wrong?

There's another utility called TrayIt! that can minimize any program to the tray, remembers which programs you want minimized to tray, and you can even hide any existing tray icons.

You can also use TaskSwitchXP - a nice utility whose primary function is to replace the Alt-Tab task switching box.
