How do you set foobar with columns UI to minimize to the taskbar by default instead of the system tray?

Specifically, this is relevant to the 'Show Desktop' shortcut, alt-tab selecting the desktop and going to the desktop with Vista's crazy flying window switcher. The main issue is that when minimized to the tray instead of the task bar, foobar isnt visible for knowing what song's playing, it's a bother to reopen(insofar as you have to focus on an area like 1/10th the size of a taskbar slot), and it doesnt show up when alt-tabbing or window switching.

Keyboard shortcuts. "Activate or hide" or "Show now playing" action. First brings you the main foobar window, second shows notification baloon.

And are you sure you have looked into foobar preferences? wink.gif Unchecking "Minimise to tray" is equal to "minimise to taskbar".

Oh thanks so much man... I didnt do more than a casual look at the Columns UI options, and I didnt catch that second tab. Yeah, I knew the option had to be SOMEWHERE I just couldn't find it.

Anyways, thanks for the help, that was kinda driving me nuts.
