Changing Minimized Icon Title

Is there a way to change the title below a minimized application at
run-time? I'd like to put a status message there, so that a user could
see what the program is doing, even if it's minimized, and update it with
a timer.

I believe you just change the .Caption of the MainForm.
Try it, almost 90% sure.

AFAIK you must change the application.title property. This is a little
problem that you've discovered when the app is minimized. You'll also
notice that the task name in the manager is incorrect.

Hope this helps
