Ah, nice. I didn't notice Win-D before. Only the little program that comes in the default toolbar for 2K/Me that does the same thing. Though I forgot to try it when emplode was syncing.

Win-M should not work when there is a featureless modal dialog on the screen (or really any popup that does not support minimize to begin with in my experience). I just tested it with another app to verify.

Programs like Audiograbber stick a small minimize button onto their dialogs for long operations that will minimize the entire app.
