Useful feature
 
Heres a small feature I would like to see implemented in SE4 (actually in all games I play). Make a hot key or hot key combination that would minimize the game to either the taskbar, or even better the system tray. Here some footsteps outside yer cubice <ALT+Z+X> and your back to your work.. or looking like it. Yes I could you can alt-tab to the app but the game covers up the taskbar with stars and such looks rather suspicious http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

You can also use the "windows-m" key combo to minimize all windows at once and thsi requires no extra programming on MM's part.

Dear lazy, lying, cheat:

There's freeware that allows you to put programs in the task bar by right-clicking on the minimize button.

It is called TrayMin and is available from PC Magazine. Or it was at one point, haven't checked lately.
