you actually can just set it in the notification area to remain present (so it doesn't hide it) Its a windows 7 thing.
I believe you can also pin it to a superbar somehow, but don't quote me on that since I haven't actually played with pinning yet.
I'm aware of these things. They do not resolve my issue.
I am specifically asking that I can set the program to minimize to the Taskbar instead of the Notification Area, which is currently not possible. Windows 7 attempts to do away with Notification Area clutter, so I hope that Stardock makes RtP more configurable for a great Windows 7 experience. Jump List support would also be wonderful.
