In Windows, you can minimize the number of applications and place them on the system tray.

VMware has been frequently used recently.
VMWare does not offer the "minimal to System Tray" feature.
On a virtual machine, there is an additional VMware entry in the task bar, which occupies a place.

Search for "VMware tray minimize" and find a solution:
Click the following link to download trayconizer.zip (for Windows 95/98/me and for Windows NT/2000/XP ).
Decompress the package and place it anywhere on the hard disk.
I directly put trayconizer.exe in the C: \ Windows directory.
Then, change the goal of the VMware Workstation shortcut:

"C: \ WINDOWS \ trayconizer.exe" "C: \ Program Files \ VMware Workstation \ vmware.exe"
Separate "C: \ WINDOWS \ trayconizer.exe" with spaces before the original "C: \ Program Files \ VMware Workstation \ vmware.exe.
Note: "C: \ WINDOWS \ trayconizer.exe" must be followed by a space.
Later, VMWare opened with a modified shortcut can be minimized to the system tray.

Of course, this tool also applies to otherProgram.
