From PC Magazine (Cheap)
PC Magazine, along with offering interesting and timely information about purchasing, maintaining, and maximizing your PC, also offers regular free, or cheap, utilities for download. I used to subscribe to a regular CD of "utilities," which were either free, or free in demo mode, to subscribers. Most of these were pretty useless. Not so the utilities offered by PC Magazine.
Visit http://www.pcmag.com and click on "Downloads" to get the latest offerings.
One that caught my eye is "Titlebar Add-Ons," a small application that actually ads functions to your Windows application window, making it easier to manage what you see and how you see it.
Titlebar Add-Ons will add four buttons to your application windows. In order of appearance:
• Send a window to the system tray. If you want to keep a particular window running, but you don't want to see it in the taskbar, this button sends the window to the system tray and
appears as an icon.
The application can be downloaded from PC Magazine's website for only $7.97, or is free to regular Utility Library subscribers.

• Make a window transparent. By clicking on this button the window instantly becomes transparent. This can be helpful if you need to see some data under the window or if you'd like to view your wallpaper at the same time.
• Pin a window to the top. This keeps the window on top of other windows on your desktop, ensuring that your important windows are not hidden by other applications.
• Roll up a window. You may roll up a window so that only the title bar is showing. This will add more space to your display without having to close running applications.
