Only if you dont have toolbars on the taskbar, otherwise you have to press tab (even several times if there are more toolbars) to the system tray. And again, locating the TC icon on the traybar is much worse than just using Alt-Tab IMHO.

One other solution :
- create link to Total Commander in your Start Menu
- assign shortcut key to this link (ctrl+alt+< for me)
- check "Allow only 1 copy..." in TC options.
So you can iconize TC and recall with only one shortcut key, don't need alt-tab or others.
If you use alt-tab and stop on TC then you must use Enter key in addition with shortcut key.
This "minimize to tray" feature is pretty poor. If i want to minimize programs to tray, then i don't want them in the "alt-tab" list, 'cause it only gets in the way, when i want to switch to another app. It's the same as if they were minimized to taskbar, but it doesn't occupy the taskbar space. I don't like it.
As i already said in a different topic, i would like to see that double-click on the desktop restores TC from tray (as in Directory Opus).

Yeah, PowerPro rocks, only disadvantage is, you need a plane pilot license to be able to use it but once you get used to it, you can do nearly everything with it. True.

There is, but more difficult. If you have a keyboard with no Win key, try this:
Press Ctrl+Esc, Esc, Tab, Tab (you may need to press TAB one more time of you have a QuickLaunch bar or something like that)
- now move with arrows - highligh is almost invisible, but exist.
- press Enter to simulate Mouse LeftClick or Shift+F10 to open context menu (RightClick).
(Another solution is to use mouse emulation with keyboard's NumPad keys).
