Communicator 2005 should minimize to taskbar like Lotus Sametime

[Rich L]

Using a trial version of Communicator - in a busy office environment, I found
that when using Lotus Sametime (which Communicator is to replace here,
eventually) that when it was minimized, it became a small icon in the taskbar
field near the date/time along with several other running application icons.
Cleared up the taskbar some. At least it could be an option to do that.

Thanks Bob. In the interim, I have found that Communicator does, in fact, act
very much like Sametime in that if there is a conversation open, it will
maintain a taskbar link like other items do, but if all conversations are
closed, it remains only an icon in the date/time/active area of the taskbar,
reducing clutter if there are many open items in the Windows environment. I
posted that to the link you provided below, also.
