Default Double click to minimize

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to change what happens
when you double click the header of an open window in
XP. By default, double clicking maximizes the window, I
would like to make it minimize a window.

Thanks, Sven

I doubt there is any way to make this change. What is your practical
goal? I use Winkey, which uses WK - arrow down to minimize. For new IE
windows, I like Sendback (sendbk31.zip), which moves a window to the
back upon right-clicking its title bar.

Thanks for the reply. The practical goal is to make XP
more like OSX. I am used to the Mac OS but recently
started running a Wintel machine in tandem via a KVM. In
OSX when you double click on the title bar, it minimizes
the window. Problem is that I keep expecting the same to
happen when I switch to the XP machine. There is no way
I know of to change this in OSX. It would make my life a
little easier if I could change it in XP.
