Re: Why doesn't double-clicking a window's control-box close it anymore?

Annoying, isn't it?

Get used to it.

I think the world wants us to click on the right.

As far as I have seem, you should be able to place your icons anywhere
you like and also can let any click do whatever you desire.

I think it is strange that a doubleclick closes the window in Windows.
With me it minimizes and maximizes.

My prefered setting is that it becomes just the bar.
