My Outlook is set to “Hide When Minimized” (see this). Is there a keyboard shortcut key to “unhide” it instead of going to that icon and right clicking it and selecting “Open Outlook”? Or at least, is there a fast way to do that with a keyboard?
Edit: It looks like there is no shorcut (yet). The best way (so far) to do it with the keyboard:
Win + B - Focus on the notification area
Right Arrow to get to Outlook icon
Enter to restore
And one of the great features of Windows 7, if Outlook is not the first system tray icon, you can always just drag and drop it to any position in the tray. MS finally got it right this time! – heavyd – 2009-08-07T04:11:20.523
There's simply no reason to navigate the tray with the keyboard. Just add /recycle (see my answer below). And if you are on Win7, just move the taskbar icon to the far left and use Win+1 – The How-To Geek – 2009-08-07T04:16:48.967
The point of "Hide when minimized" is NOT to have Outlook in taskbar where it expands when opened, and I have my Outlook always opened. So, Win+number route is closed. – buti-oxa – 2009-08-07T16:11:35.853
