Minimise all windows

Hi all,

I can't believe I haven't found this already, but I need to minimise all windows at the start of a script. I've tried WIN>2,* but it didn't like the wildcard for the window names.

Any comments would be appreciated

Thanks, Ian

You probably didn't find this when you tried searching the forums because it's written in American English:

Thanks for that - ironically I remember discussing this at the time...

Thanks, Ian

... Although we're in the UK we tend to spell stuff like that in American English as a) that's how it appears in Windows (even if you have UK English selected in Regional Options!) and b) the majority of our customers are in the USA after all ...

In my Concise Oxford Dictionary, published and purchased in the UK, "minimize" is the first listed spelling, and "ise" is an add-on

Oh yes, you're absolutely right! Many of the ize or ise endings are interchangeable and not necessarily English or American. In fact a lot of the American spellings which some British say are wrong, are in fact the original English spelling and it is us Brits that have changed them over the years
