Minimize To Tray

[RagnaroktA]

I'm trying to find a way to, upon minimizing a script with a gui, make a script minimize to the system tray instead of the taskbar so the script will truly run in the background. Has this been done? I searched and found nothing helpful... Thanks!

First: This is not a general support forum. (Scripts and Scraps)

If you use the Beta version, check in the helpfile: Tray functions.

Apologies, and thanks for the help.
