Can I set TB so if I accidently hit the "X" it does not unload the program? But use the "close window" on taskbar.

I would like TB to stay active on my computer all the time. Unfortunately when I hit the "X" it unloads from active program and I have to reload it to read my emails. Is there some way I can defeat that feature. If I need to exit the program I can always "close window" on the taskbar.

Chosen solution

Install TrayHotKey and enable the 'close window to tray' option. Tested and working on Win 7/TB 31.
