2. For our window My Computer we must create a specific window rule, that's why we choose the command Add a new rule to the current list from Main Menu/Toolbar.
3. As we tune the folder My Computer, let's give our settings the same name - My Computer.
4. To show Actual Window Manager that we want to apply these tunings we do the following:
   1. Open My Computer.
   2. Click on the crosshair . Holding the button, drag it to the headline of the window My Computer.
   3. Release the button and you'll see all data about the selected program or folder filled in the Target Window Panel:

      

   4. Check Window Caption and uncheck Window Class.

7. Click on a diskette and save the tunings.

We showed you how to use the program on the example of folders. However, you can do the same operations with almost all applications. The results are impressive - you spend only several seconds on creating the window rule to achieve the desired results.

You save your time - no more tedious tunings every time you open programs. You've done it once - and enjoy the results always.
