Hi;

When you minimize a program, the item will appear in the toolbar.

If you mean how to get that item into the right-hand section known as the
System Tray, there isn't a simple way to do this unless the program is coded
to allow it.

If you mean how to get that item to show in the left-hand side known as the
QuickLaunch area, create a shortcut for the program on the Desktop, then
drag/Move that shortcut into the QuickLaunch section. Or right-click an
empty section of the QuickLaunch and select Open Folder, then
drag/create/move the shortcut there. NOTE that you always want to use
shortcuts to programs there, not the programs themselves.

Last, you can create a customized section for the toolbar that contains just
items you want. For that and additional help on the above, see "Add
toolbars to the taskbar" in the Help section.

You are certainly welcome. Hope one of the scenarios I mentioned was
the answer you wanted.
