    miniMIZE puts thumbnails of your minimized applications on the desktop for easier access.

    This is completely useful and user friendly. I love it! Not to mention it's free.

    I'm not to sure on its resources. I'll check when I get home.
    Last activity was about a year ago. I wish he updated it. I hate the Always on Top feature. But other than that, I love this program. If I remember correctly, it hardly takes up any resources.

    EDIT: ok nvm about the always on top. it goes under. lol.

    I'm using it now...got it from the website above. I can't even tell it's running, seems pretty lightweight. Very functional little program. So far I like it.

    I've used this for a while, it's a decent program that's light on resources (2-5k) and simple to use. My only gripe it that the thumbnails don't always work and doesn't capture video/games/etc like in Vista Aero's built in thumbnail.
