Default Anyone know how to remove the minimize/maximize buttons

As above, anyone know how to remove or disable these buttons in the top right of any O/S window. I want to prevent users minimizing.maximising and/or generally resizing any window.

Im not a coder so asking me to do API stuff isn't much help unless you make it step by step.

Cheers

Matt

If it isn't catered for by the application ini the first place (e.g. IE can be launched with parameters to limit functionality), I doubt very much you can "hack" into each window. But I have been wrong many times before

Basically, I have an application that has "issues" when minimized and I want to prevent users from minimizing it. I've checked some sites and it is possible with some fairly hefty APi coding, but like I said, I'm not a programmer and want to know if there is an easier way to do.

I just want to be able to get rid of the three buttons on the right and the context menu on the left that lets you do the same thing.

Cheers

Matt
