About RBTray
RBTray is a small Windows program that runs in the background and lets you send any window to the system tray with a right-click, instead of leaving it on the taskbar. It is useful for programs that stay open all day but do not offer their own minimise-to-tray option.
This is a maintained fork of the original SourceForge project, with 32-bit and 64-bit builds. It is in maintenance mode: no new features are planned, but reported bugs may still be fixed.
