If you've got an app whose window you want to always start minimized to the system tray when it starts, but the app itself doesn't support this feature, then you can make it happen with AlomWare Toolbox!

When the window opens, middle-click its icon area and select "Opening state > Open like this, but with the window position > minimized to systray", as shown in the example below for "Paint Shop Pro". Then click the "OK" button on the confirmation box that appears. That's it! Now when that window first opens, AlomWare Toolbox will auto-minimize it to the system tray for you, and you just click the icon in the systray to show the window again.
