 1. Overview
-------------
   Iconic Tray is a tiny utility which lets you minimize any window either
 to the system tray (notification area in Windows XP), or to a special new
 tray provided by Iconic Tray itself.  Whichever method you choose - bye bye
 those clogged up taskbars!
   Iconic Tray is very useful to hide seldom used or background applications
 which occupy your taskbar and hinder quick switching among those you use
 most often.  Moreover, minimized applications use less processor time and
 memory - your system performance may even increase!
   Minimizing to the Iconic Tray and/or the system tray is easy: simply
 right-click (or middle-click) on the window's "Minimize" button.  Anytime
 you want to view the minimized windows, just open the Iconic Tray icon to
 see a menu list - click on a window in the list and it's back on screen
 again. It really is that easy.  Of course, if you had chosen to minimize to
 the system tray, just restore your window as you would any other tray icon.
   As small as it is, Iconic Tray will do this job admirably - and what's
 more, it's simple to configure too.  The icon for Iconic Tray can appear
 either as a small button next to the system tray, or as an icon in the
 system tray itself.  The preferences dialog allows you to change all the
 default settings, plus, you can define system wide hotkeys to carry out
 all the functions mentioned above.


 2. System requirements
------------------------
   Iconic Tray requires Windows 9x/ME/NT4/2000/XP. There are no special
 requirements to processor performance and memory capacity. Special hardware
 equipment is not required either. A 3-buttons mouse is preferable, but this
 is not mandatory.


 3. Install/Uninstall
----------------------
Install:
   Unzip the downloaded file called it12.zip into a temporary folder and
 run the it12_setup.exe file. The installer will let you choose where to
 install the program and create a program group in the Window's Start Menu.

Uninstall:
   Unstalling of Iconic Tray may be carried out either by choosing
 "Add/Delete Program" in Control Panel or by choosing "Uninstall" from the
 program group.


 4. How to register
