Runs Applications as Icons in System Tray Area
The fundamental  purpose of Trayer is to add an icon to the system tray area to represent a running program or a window. You can then hide or show the window with just a click (or double-click, configurable) on the tray icon.

Hide Unwanted Taskbar Button
If you think the taskbar button is taking up too much space, you can hide it completely by setting "Hide Taskbar Button" to "Always Hide" and kiss the taskbar button goodbye.

Need Securities? Protect It with Password!
To prevent unwelcome guests from tempering with your minimized/hidden program, you can always password-protect it. You can choose to lock-up your minimized/hidden program manually or automatically after certain time. Screenshoot below shows that a Password dialog box is prompted when user attempts to bring up the hidden program by clicking the tray icon.

Hide Window Completely!
What's more! If what you are doing is so secretive that you do not want to visually alert curious people (colleagues, boss, kids, etc...), say, downloading your favorite photos from your favorite newsgroup, you can even hide the window of the running program, the taskbar button as well as the tray icon! This will effectively make your program invisible and untouchable, like getting lost in the outer-space. To get in touch with the hidden program again, just simply bring up Trayer Manager and the hidden program is there right in front of you.

System Tray Icons Recovery
I think this is something all Windows users have experienced before. When Explorer.exe crashes or is ended by the user, the icons in the system tray may disappear because Explorer is the Windows shell. Usually you will need to continue to use your computer without the system tray icons until you restart your computer. With Trayer, the situation is improved.

Disable Window's Close (X) Button
If you find yourself closing an application by accident too easily instead of minimize it and hide it, this tweak can help.

Keeps Window Always On Top
Another handy tweak that keeps your program always visible on top of other windows.

Screenshoot below shows that Calculator is always visible and is on top of the all the other windows including the active window, which is Notepad in this case.
