Actual Window Rollup is the new and completely innovative way to resolve the problem of minimizing windows! Usually, we minimize windows to the task bar which is not very convenient; just imagine that you work with 7-8 applications simultaneously. What's the result? The task bar is so cluttered that it is almost impossible to find the desired window quickly. Minimize windows to the system tray so that you see only programs' icons? There is much more space now, but still - how to find exactly this or that icon among plenty of others? We offer you a smart solution. If you do not need some windows at the moment, roll them up so that only their title bars remain visible! Want to get them back? Just click the Roll Up button and windows are ready again! Title bars are easier to find than programs minimized to icons, so don't hunt for windows any more!
Actual Window Rollup seamlessly integrates into Windows and functions totally transparently throughout the Operating System. Roll Up control is visually represented as another Windows-style title bar button placed next to the Minimize/Restore/Close buttons. It can also be triggered via contextual menu or hotkeys.
The Roll Up method can be specified individually for each application in the Configuration Module which contains the expandable list of programs, each with its own window behavior settings. The Module features predefined specifications for the most popular programs that's why you can identify window behavior for any other application which is not on the Module list or you can apply Roll Up pattern to all windows in one simple click.
Rollup is available for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista. It is a REAL must-have for all users, who regularly multitask in several applications.

Recent Changes:
[!] Windows Monitoring Log tool is added into the Control Center. It allows
detecting newly appeared windows and check, which window rule has been
applied in each particular case. Now you can easily solve any configuration
ambiguities and detect properties of short-living windows (like tool tips,
popup menus etc.). Be careful using this feature: turned on it may slow down
your system!
[+] The ability to hide the mouse pointer, while it is floating over the
specific window, is added.
[+] The ability to copy settings from a selected window rule to others is added.
[+] The new hotkeys are added:
- "Reapply settings" action (Win+F5 by default)
- Configuration Module's launch (Win+C by default)
- "Unhide" submenu that shows the list of currently minimized/hidden
windows (Win+H by default)
[+] Now the hotkey status is displayed in the "Hotkeys" panel of the "Options"
window: when defining a new key combination, you can see, if the defined
combination is already in use with another application or assigned to
another action.
[+] The ability to temporarily disable the automatic rolling up via Roll Up
title button's context menu or Roll Up window menu's submenu is added.
[+] Now the balloon tip is shown over the Control Center's tray icon at first
start after the installation.
[*] The internal mechanism of hotkeys processing is significantly improved.
[*] The options structure is redesigned: new "Triggers" and "Actions" grouping
nodes are added.
[*] The "Hide Configuration Module while using Window Finder" option has been
moved from General to User Interface.
[*] Title buttons appearance in Windows Vista is improved.
[-] The "orphaned title buttons" bug in Windows Vista is fixed:
sometimes title buttons used to get detached from their owner window and
stuck on the desktop.
[-] Compatibility conflicts are solved with:
- Quattro Pro X3 menus
- GrabIt internal windows
- MS Office XP CTFMON.EXE service
- X-NetStat application
[-] Now the "Configure..." item of Control Center tray icon's context menu
is displayed correctly in Windows Vista.
[-] Title buttons now work properly in PowerPoint 2007.
[-] Title buttons' behavior in Outlook 2007 is improved.
[-] Sometimes windows used to freeze in the rolled state and needed to be
resized manually instead of unrolling - now the Unroll function works always
as expected.
