By default, Windows File Explorer does not have a built-in option to minimize a window to the taskbar (system tray). File Explorer is typically designed to perform file and folder management tasks, not to run as a background application on the taskbar.

If you still want to minimize File Explorer to the taskbar, you can use third-party software. There are various third-party applications that can add this functionality. For example, a popular option is RBTray, which allows you to minimize applications to the system area.

Here's how you can use Desktop-Okay:

Download and install Desktop-Okay on your computer.

Launch the file explorer you want to minimize.

Right-click the Minimize button in the title bar of File Explorer. File Explorer should now be in the taskbar.

Description:
►► How can I minimize the other programs to tray, on Windows 11, 10, ...?


Please note that such third-party tools are not supported by Microsoft and you should ensure that you use trusted sources to download and install such applications. Make sure they are compatible with your version of Windows.
