CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Although it misses some additional conveniences, this clever application conceals active windows by docking them in the system tray. Minimizer-XP's interface and settings are accessible via a tray icon, though the only configurations are to begin at start-up or not. The program places an additional button on the upper-right corners of active windows to speedily shrink open programs and their titles to the tray. While we're certainly pleased at how quick and easy it is to send applications and windows to the system tray, a hot-key command would bring more expediency to this title. Anyone who wants to manage a cluttered desktop or even quickly hide activities from curious spectators will appreciate this free program.Publisher's description
From EliteScouter :This program minimizes any windows to your systray. This is good if you want to hide something that is running and you don't want it on your taskbar. This program is simple to use.

Version: Minimizer-XP 1.1
Pros: It usually does what it claims to do.
Cons: It doesn't recognize all programs and therefore you can't minimize everything. I couldn't minimize Fastone. Also, the additional icon it adds to open windows doesn't always fit properly.

"It does what it says perfectly"
Pros: The product adds an extra icon on the top right of an open window. Clicking it will minimize it, but instead of placing it on the taskbar will descreetly hide it in the corner. It works well and is extremely easy to use.
