When using Windows, what is the key sequence for minimizing or maximing a window? Sometimes it's faster just to use the keys than the mouse. Anybody have any suggestions reply here or E-mail ....

All standard Windows features are accessible from the keyboard, but not all of them are simple. To maximize/minimize a window, you have to select the Minimize/Maximize feature in the system box. Press the Alt key to highlight the system box. You may have to use the right arrow several times if the window you want is a child window. Press return to pull down the system menu, and voila! >WINN,FREDERICK LEIGH >Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 >Internet: fw3@prism.gatech.edu Phong. -- ========================================================================= Phong T.

Sometimes it's faster just to use the keys I mailed a reply to F.L. Winn, but somebody posted a wrong answer, and there are few things that annoy me more than seeing the wrong answer posted to an innocent and impressionable world, so here is the right answer: ALT-SPACE opens the system menu. N selects the minimize option, and X selects maximize. ALT-SPACE,N will minimize a window, ALT-SPACE,X will maximize it. ALT-SPACE,R will restore it to the normal condition. -- Kent Forschmiedt ... kentfo@polari ... uw-beaver!sumax!polari!kentfo

Note: Alt-Space N/X works great for minimizing/maximizing your CURRENT window. The original poster asked about minimizing SOME window. If it's not your current window, you'll need more keystrokes.
