General Settings

The general settings tab contains settings that apply to miniMIZE in general. They control general application behavior.

graphic
·    Start miniMIZE When I Log-in - This setting will tell miniMIZE to automatically start up for the current user when they log on to Windows.
·    Show Icon In Tray - This option will tell miniMIZE whether it should show or hide the icon that displays in the Windows notification area (System Tray).
Warning: Turning this option off will hide the icon and thus provide no way for you to access the miniMIZE menu to exit miniMIZE or change settings. However there is a built in work-around to this issue. While miniMIZE is running, re-launching miniMIZE will show the tray icon, it will not start a second instance of miniMIZE.
·    Place Thumbnails On - This setting will only be enabled if you are using multiple monitors on your system. In that case, it provides you with a way to tell miniMIZE which monitor it should put the thumbnails on by default.
Note: The numbering of the monitors is the same as the standard windows numbering of the monitors in your display settings.
·    Restore Windows Using - This setting allows you to set whether you want to restore windows by single or double clicking on the thumbnails.
Note: Setting the 'Restore Windows Using' setting to 'Single Click' will automatically activate the setting that enforces you to hold down the Control key when dragging the thumbnails. This is due to the way that Windows handles window clicks and movements.
·    Only Move Thumbnails When I Hold Ctrl - Enabling this option will tell miniMIZE to only allow dragging of the thumbnails when you hold down the Control key.
·    Hide Taskbar Buttons - If you want miniMIZE to hide the taskbar buttons for the windows that are currently minimized, enable this option.

Once you have setup miniMIZE to your satisfation, clicking Ok will close the dialog.
