Now, here’s today’s tip – Double clicking the title bar will toggle between “restore down” and Maximize  your window in the PC environment. In the Apple environment it will Minimize your window down to the docking area at the bottom right of your screen.

Remember the Title Bar of a window is that area across the top of the window that tells you the name of the window you’re looking at. The Title Bar generally includes the close button (Apple) or close X (PC).

This tip always works in the PC environment but might be disabled in the Apple world. If so, go to System Preferences...  > Dock and click the checkbox for Double-click a window's title bar to minimize.

My book, 100 Amazing Computer Tips - Shortcuts, Tricks, and Advice to Help Everyone from Novice to Professional, is available NOW at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble in both print and ebook formats. There's also a handy link on top right side of this window.

Happy computing!
