Closing MWP

Hi all

I have got used to closing Windows applications by double clicking in the top left hand corner.

The only app on my PC that does not follow this convention is MWP 2010!

Any reason the system menu is not implemented top left??

Interesting!

I don't have a system menu on MWP - no amount of left or right clicking in the top left area around the yellow MWP icon will produce it!

I am running XP Professional SP3 (32 bit). I have .net 3.5 SP1.

As I said - iv'e not seen this issue with any other program!!

Confirmed, it is not working on XP but is working on windows 7. I've reported the bug on the beta forum :)

Hmm .. just tried this as an experiment, the menu is there on my main machine but not on my netbook.
Both running fully patched W7.

I'm running MWP 2010.1.0.19 on Windows 7 x86-64 Home Premium on my desktop where it is working.

What are your Win7 versions?

Running MWP 2010.1.0.19 on both machines,

W7 home premium on main machine (Where it works)
W7 starter on netbook (Where it doesn't)

The menu is present on other applications I've tried (e.g. firefox, t-bird) on the netbook.

Thanks for that, you pointed me in the right direction :)

It only works in Aero theme, Swapping to Basic theme also stops the menu from appearing.

Don't think it's been left for any technical reason, will see about getting it added.
