(Fixed the link lsdx). Question. I'm not sure how far you got this - you also need to know how to remove the default "File - Edit - etc" menubar, or is this just about min/max buttons ?

The latter I don't know really, but all toolbars are gone here (besides my own).

uh....403 coupled with a 404 here...

Correct link: http://depot.rafalaguna.com/imagenes/_misc/miniwindows.png

hmm it looks like toolbar windows. drag a toolbar (example quick launch) to the desktop and whoala.! i have the same looks when i drag it to the desktop.

edit: your link works only when i copy the link to the adress bar and hit enter.

edit2: this happens when i drag the desktop toolbar to the desktop:
screenshot, i think it is the same...

To do that woth regular windows though, would mean,

a) remove all toolbars. Can be done at

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\ShellBrowser

We're halfway documenting the whole thing, but this regfile (2k/XP) does it for me (backup key first etc).

b) create a custom Marlett.ttf with blanks for minimize/max/restore ?!
c) fiddle with windowmetrics to get it as small as possible ?

Or, just use ShellWM.

That reg file didn't work for me, plastic ("Detected non-ANSI characters in this Unicode file. Data will be lost if this file is saved"). Here's a working one and a screenshot.

Yep, sorry. I forgot mention it. It's a folder dragged out from screen border.
Thanks a lot, undefined, REG file worked for me! <me="happy">
