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 OS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 CPU i7 950 4ghz Motherboard EVGA x58 FTW3 Memory 6GB G.Skill pc12800 Graphics Card EVGA GTX 580 SC Sound Card Xfi Titanium Monitor(s) Displays Samsung 24" Screen Resolution 1920x1200 PSU Thermaltake 850 Case Mountain Mods U2-UFO Horizon Cooling Custom watercooling Hard Drives Vertex 3 SSD 120Gb x2 RAID 0

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 OS Windows 7 Ultimate RTM (Technet) CPU 3.00 gigahertz Intel Core2 Duo E8400 Motherboard ASUSTeK Computer INC.

There's always a right-click on the title bar that has a few options too. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Enterprise CPU Intel Pentium Dual E2200 @2.2GHz Motherboard Gigabyte II-G31 Memory 4GB Graphics Card Palit GForce 9500GT 1GB Sound Card onBoard Mouse Logitech MX518 PSU 450W Case CoolerMaster CM690 Cooling Corsair H50 Hard Drives WesternDigital: 250GB + 1TB + 1TB + 2TB |
