Also note that some types of windows can not\nbe properly minimized at all, most notably Windows Store application windows\nsuch as WhatsApp.\n\nRBTray is free, open source, and is distributed under the terms of the [GNU\nGeneral Public Licence](http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html).\n\n## Download\n\n- [64 bit binaries](x64)\n- [32 bit binaries](x86)\n- [Original RBTray](https://sourceforge.net/projects/rbtray/files/)\n\n## Installing\n\nDownload either the 32-bit or 64-bit binaries (depending on your OS) to a folder,\nfor example \"`C:\\Program Files\\RBTray`\". Double click RBTray.exe to start it. If\nyou want it to automatically start after you reboot, create a shortcut to\nRBTray.exe in your Start menu's Startup group.\n\nOn Windows 10 that is located at\n`\"C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME_HERE\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup\"`\n\nAn alternative way to access it is to press \"`WIN` + `R`\" then type\n`shell:Startup`.\n\n## Using\n\nTo minimize a program to the system tray, you can use any of these methods:\n\n- Right-click with the mouse on the program's minimize button.\n- Hold down a Shift key while right-clicking on the program's title bar.\n- Pressing Control-Alt-Down on the keyboard (all at the same time).\n\nThis should create an icon for the window in the system tray. To restore the\nprogram's window, single-click the program's icon in the tray. Alternatively,\nyou can right-click on the tray icon which will bring up a popup menu, then\nselect **Restore Window**.\n\nIn some cases, the first two methods cause problems with other software because\nof they way they integrate into Windows using a hook to intercept mouse events.\nIn these cases, you can use the `--no-hook` option, which means that only the\nlast method of using the Control-Alt-Down hotkey will work. Also in this case\nthe RBHook.dll isn't needed since it only exists to support the mouse event\nhook.\n\n## Exiting\n\nRight-click on any tray icon created by RBTray and click **Exit RBTray** in the\npopup menu, or run RBTray.exe with the `--exit` parameter.\n\n## Authors\n\nNikolay Redko: \u003chttp://rbtray.sourceforge.net/\u003e, \u003chttps://github.com/nredko\u003e\n\nJ.D.
