711507 2008-10-11 08:28:00 How about a dock? You can make them quite large and also make them auto-hide. I've "customised" a RocketDock for you here (pipi.co.nz) (1.9 MB). Just download and unzip to its own folder then run the exe (no need to install). Here's a reference screenshot of the dock (pipi.co.nz). Windows Mail is demoed in the dock too but that link won't work on XP

Let me know how it goes.

711509 2008-10-11 10:28:00 ObjectDock (Free) should do as you ask and works with XP.

What I linked to in my previous post (RocketDock) will work on XP, just the shortcut to Windows Mail in it won't because Windows Mail is a Vista program. No biggy though, just drag the shortcut out of the dock and drag what ever other mail program you like in its place.
