I've always been able to minimize the game by hitting the button between Ctrl and Alt on the bottom left of my keyboard - the one with the Microsoft Windows logo that brings up the Start Menu. It throws the game to the taskbar for me.
IIRC other people have had luck using the Alt-Tab combination. Whether this still works if the game is the only app you have running, I don't know. It's never worked for me but when I run the game I typically don't have any other windows open.
