Currently when you are working on something like individual relationships which do not show up on the taskbar. You are not allowed to switch windows to anything else in the Raisers edge any way so minimizing it has no benefit but it does allow users to confuse themselves into thinking the program is locked and ending the task when they don't see the little bar above the taskbar if they try to switch back to RE with the mouse. If you alt+tab back in it automatically restores.
