[BUG] Windows Vista MMC Customize Dialog Box Close Button Bug

Following are the steps to re-create it:

1. Type "mmc.exe" or "services.msc" or "devmgmt.msc" or any other .msc file name in RUN or Startmenu Searchbox and press <Enter>.

2. Goto "View -> Customize..." and it'll open a dialog box.

3. Now try to click on "Close" (X) button and nothing will happen. Even pressing <Esc> key will not close the dialog box. If you right-click on the dialog box titlebar, you'll get only "Move" option. So you'll only have to click on "OK" button.

Now whats the use of "Close" button? That's really weird that Close button can't close the dialog box.

Thanks to "Ramesh Kumar" (Fellow MVP) for finding this bug.

hey,

I am not able to close any window box whenever open them.. I have this problem with Windows Vista, all the time I need to use Task Manager to close the program box and lastly I can't close Task Manager itself.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
