[Unambiguous]

I have a lot of apps open at once, and most times they just clutter my desktop without being used. I need a script or app that can monitor all my apps and minimize a window after it has been inactive for a certain amount of time.

I have been trying to search for a while now, and even thought about starting up a AHK script using Loop, I just don't know how to get it started.

Also, I have another problem with WinMinimize where when I minimize an app, it doesnt go to my taskbar, but minimizes into an individual box on the bottom of the screen (kinds like Photoshop or Office does when minimizing multiple windows).

I see you got the first part working and posted your script, which will hopefully be of use to others as well (that script is at http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9422).

Concerning your last question:
If a particular type of window does not respond correctly to WinMinimize, try using the following instead:
PostMessage, 0x112, 0xF020,,, WinTitle, WinText ; 0x112 = WM_SYSCOMMAND, 0xF020 = SC_MINIMIZE
