When you open Windows Explorer or other programs in Windows, you can right-click on the title bar of each window to access some basic window handling options, such as maximizing and minimizing the window, moving the window, and closing the window.

We found a free tool that adds several useful options to the context menu for all windows in Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. The following features are added to the context menu for all windows in the operating system:

• Keep on top: Configures the window so that it remains on top of all other windows.
• Move To: Moves the window to the center, left, right, bottom or top of the computer screen.
• Maximize To: Maximizes the window vertically, horizontally and to eight other directions.
• Transparency: Sets the transparency of the window from 100% to 10%.
• Kill Process: Terminates the process responsible for the window. This option is not available for Explorer windows.
• Process Priority: Changes the process priority of the underlying process.
• Free Unused Memory: Displays excess memory that can be freed.
• Find this Program: Opens the Windows Explorer location of the program in a new window.
• Program Information: Displays various information about the program.
• Iconize to Tray: Moves the window to the system tray, even if that is not supported by default.
