How to add more options to Windows title bar [Guide]

When you right-click on a window’s title bar in Windows, a context menu opens with Restore, Minimize, Maximize and Close options. So there aren’t lots of options to select from the system window menu. However, with Moo0 Window Menu Plus we can add nine new options to the system window menu.

You can add the software to Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 from this page. There click the Download button to save the Moo0 Window Menu Plus installer. When you’ve added the software to Windows, you’ll find a Window Menu Plus icon in the system tray as below.

Select the Keep on Top option to keep the window on top over all the others. Then when you click on other minimized windows in the system tray, they open under the window selected to remain on top.

Another handy option on the context menu is Iconize to Tray. When you select that the window minimizes not to the taskbar, but to the system tray as below. As such, with that option you can remove some of the windows from the taskbar without closing them.
