Computers: How do I fix my settings so I can pocket things?

Q: I used to be able to pocket a window when I clicked on the minus sign button to the left of the exit button at the upper right corner. When I click the minus sign button, the computer exits the window completely without pocketing. In other words, it behaves as if I clicked the exit button. How do I fix my settings so I can pocket things when I need to?

A: There's no setting for that that I know of. This sounds like a cop-out, but if this happens with all programs rather than just one, I'd try restarting your machine and hoping that clears up the problem. If not, there may be something seriously wrong with your operating system (this is by no means a hardware problem). If it happens with only one program, that would mean that program is doing something wrong on a Minimize event ("pocketing" as you call it). Good luck.
