Captain Tray Pro is a simple and effective tool for windows management under Windows OS.

A lot of users need several applications to work with at once. Some of them are used quite regularly, others only when they are necessary. So the Windows taskbar can be fully packed – everything seems to be necessary and you have no desire to close anything. Some applications can be minimized into the system tray (the area where the clock is), but what shall we do with ‘Notepad’, ‘Calculator’, ‘Microsoft Word’, ‘Microsoft Excel’, and our other favorite applications? Captain Tray Pro is right there to help you.

You probably have a file manger installed on your computer (FAR, Total Commander, Frigate), which you use to manage your files. Now you can use Captain Tray Pro to manage your windows.

We have deliberately mentioned file managers here, for the program interface has been designed for the user to manage his desktop with the same ease, as he does it when managing the contents of his hard drive. Thus such utilities as taskbar, system tray and hideboard are represented as discs of a hard drive and windows are represented as files.

A taskbar is usually located at the bottom, where windows of basic applications can be found. System tray is an area near the clock, where icons of some applications can be found. Hideboard is a certain hidden area, which was named so on analogy of 'Clipboard'.

When you place an application to system tray it acquires a menu of its own.

The program gives you an opportunity to automatically place windows to system tray or to hideboard. This function is called 'Teleport'. It can be configured to place all new windows to system tray or hideboard once they are opened or, otherwise, each new window can be adjusted to have a special location.

Having started Captain Tray Pro a user can manage windows with the help of keyboard, pressing special hot keys.
