Does anyone else double click the icon on the left side of the title bar to close a window?

you had to do it in Windows 3.1, there were no minimize/maximize/close buttons at the top right. i dropped that habit after using Windows 95 for a while though. as n0cmonkey stated above, solaris still uses this method.

I used 3.1 back in the day, but I guess since the X in the upper right I never looked back.

haven't doubleclicked in the upper left corner of a window since win 3.1... now it's the upper right, or alt-f4

use the taskbar: right-click->close

I use either one, depends of how close the mouse cursor is of each.

I use the X, or close from the taskbar. Didn't know we could close a windows by double-clicking the icon.

whatever's most convenient. Although sometimes I like to use the taskmgr and kill the task just to show it who's boss.

Keyboad shortcuts are the way to go.

Center button on my wheel mouse is set for close.
