Outlook 2007 is a popular email and calendar program. It can be used to store important information, such as contact information, in a safe place. However, if you want to keep Outlook 2007 minimized on your computer, you need to do some careful planning. Here are some tips:

  1. Make sure that all of your important emails and calendar events are stored in one place. This will help you stay organized and focused on your work.
  2. Make sure that all of your important contacts are stored in one place too. This will help you stay connected with friends and family.
  3. Keep any important files that you don’t need frequently accessed in a separate folder or file system. This way, you won’t have to worry about them getting lost or stolen if they’re misplaced or accidentally deleted.

You may have noticed that by default when you minimize Outlook it still shows in the taskbar.

To stop it from showing up right click on the Outlook icon in the notification area next to the clock then select Hide When Minimized.

Another notification balloon will pop up notifying the change and how to change it back if needed.

Now there will be additional space on the Taskbar for other programs.  Now you can maximize Outlook by Double Clicking the notification icon or clicking on the notification pop up if that is enabled.
