Pre-Windows 7 "Window Control Menu" in Windows 7 taskbar

As Windows 7 introduced a new feature called "Jump Lists," right-clicking on the icon of an open window will show this list. If you want to see the "control menu"* instead, hold the Shift key and right-click the icon. If you want to permanently change this new behavior, try 7 Taskbar Tweaker . It can make regular right-clicks bring up the control menu, as well as change many other features of the Windows 7 taskbar. * A control menu is a menu that enables you to manipulate a window frame, providing options such as Maximize, Restore, Minimize, Move and Size.
