Stop Guest OS (w7) apps minimising to dock

Hi,

I'm on 10.6.latest and using build 6.0.12090.

I want to stop my w7 guest apps minimising to the dock when in coherence but can't find the option... I may be remembering it from Pv5 but I'm sure it's in v6 too. Also I'm not sharing OSX apps with w7 or vice versa if that makes a difference.

With the w7 taskbar being much improved from XP there is no need to minimise to the dock as I'm now displaying the taskbar and actually using it :O

Any assistance much appreciated.

TIA,

Nick

i got the following from the Help icon from the Coherence configuration panel:

Hide minimized windows. This option is available only if the host operating system is Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.x. By default, when you work in Coherence and minimize a Windows guest OS application, it appears in the Dock. If you minimize two or more Windows applications, the Dock may become too crowded and you may find it difficult to work with. If you select the Hide minimized windows option, Windows guest OS applications will not appear in the Dock when you minimize them.

Note: If the host operating system is Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.x, the minimized Windows applications do not appear in the Dock. When you work with a Windows guest application in Coherence, its icon appears in the Dock. To access the minimized windows of this application, right-click its icon in the Dock and you will see them listed in the context menu.

except i played around with Coherence and W7 a bit, and i observed the same behavior you did: when clicking on the windows minimize button, it minimizes the file to the Apple dock.

so, i would call this a bug, given what the Help has gone out of it's way to explain.
