Go into taskbar properties and look for something like customize systray icons. In Windows 7 and 8 you can specify three different states for icons in the systray. There are a couple for Outlook that you could set to always show. I think they would then let you know about reminders, etc.

This'll be my final question for now at least. I promise. LOL! I have set up various reminders and appointments both with Outlook 2013. I'm aware that Outlook needs to be running, not necessarily in the foreground, but it needs to be at the very least, running, in order for me to receive the notifications of reminders and appointments. The thing is, right now, Outlook is in my alt+tab list. I don't' really mind this tremendously, however, it can get irritating at times. I try to keep my alt tab list as clean as I can. Back in the days, there was an app called Power Menu. Basically, for those who don't know, or don't remember, what it did was to put an option in your alt+Space menu along with minimize, that would actually let you minimize pretty much any application to your system tray instead of to your taskbar. I found this utility to be a major! Lifesaver. Unfortunately, with Windows 7, and for that mind, 8, and 8.1, it no longer is supported. I kind of got it to work kind of, sort of, ish, by forcing it into compatibility mode for XP, but even that! Is somewhat flakey. So, here and lies my question. Is there a way, either with a 3rd party software, or just natively with Outlook 2013 itself that I can move it out of the way, and put it in the system tray, thereby getting it out of my alt+Tab list order? That would be absolutely incredible if so. Thanks for the help, guys. Sorry for all of the questions this afternoon.
