Minimize/Maximize windows with mouse?
I know the hotkeys for minimizing windows are Win + Up or Win + Down
Any idea how I can maximize/minimize windows using my wireless mouse without having to manually click the minimize and maximize buttons?
Help would be appreciated. | My System Specs |

I always just double-click the title bar, that will min / max it....
Edit: Or with windows 7 you can just drag the title bar to the top of the screen to maximize it and then drag it off the top of the screen to restore it to normal size.... | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom build

Double clicking the title bar does not minimize a window. It only takes it out of full screen mode, or puts it back. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom
