Glad you like it, there are more coming, i'm just not having enough time to do it.
As for the winkey shortcuts, that con has been taken from the minireview, where that is mentioned. If it's an error, i'll remove it ;)

Other ones I used over the years that still seem to exist (i always take a snapshot of every program's webpage with lwa and put some notes. Handy when you think "hmm, what was that tool again which....")

Since this is a "best" thread, only listing the ones that were good enough they didn't get uninstalled within the day...

Tray Devil (freeware) http://jenneboer.nl/traydevil/ - more than just the usual features: minimize to tray, always on top, disable close button, some quick action features (shutdown, launch software). Doesn't always play well with others (hotkeys, after crash). Almost had too many features I didnt use and I don't think it remembered the settings per app (minimising always manual) and i don't think it restored the icons after explorer crash.

tray-it (free) http://www.teamcti.com/trayit/trayit.htm - quick and simple, configurable per app. Quite minimalistic which can be good if all you want is minimize to tray

All To Tray ($10) http://www.dntsoft.com/alltotray/index.html - the usual features again, but this one does remember per app settings and also does really well restoring all tray icons after an explorer crash. That's a feature i love  :-*

4t tray (free/$20) http://www.4t-niagara.com/tray.html - this was one of my favorites when i was testing those. It's very configurable (per app) an has a lot of nice touches. I would have bought that one except it didnt have the icon recovery function.

I do remember liking ps tray factory a lot, too

In the end I never found one I used enough - and ended up using objectbar which does some of this and came with my objectdesktop membership. Nowadays i get the minimize-to-tray and other windows manipulating options via wirekeys
