Memory Crunching

[2sky]

When you minimize an application, a huge amount of memory is decommited back to the system (You can check this with the Windows Taskmanager)... Does anyone know how to force this inside the application, without minimizing the mainwindow ?

_heapmin() can do this to a degree. As far as I know it is the only way to release memory back to the OS in Win32.
