File browse dialogue- MSFT

This is a insert picture dialogue for Microsoft Word. I think i double clicked on the header to expand it maximise to search an image and then added it to world doc. But after sometime i again clicked the insert image icon and then... it put a full screen dialogue for selecting image. I was searching for a minimise button on top and re size handle on bottom. I couldn't see. And i didn't remember how i had made it maximise. Then i remembered that i need to double click on the title bar to reduce. But my god.. what a trap i was in..
If they are allowing the dialogue to be maximise, should we not have the minimise title bar button ?

Usability of windows mobile ActiveSync 4.5




Guys i never thought of writing blog until i stumbled across horrible usability of Microsoft windows mobile PC software. They call it ActiveSync 4.5 It is used to synch the pocket PC ( PDA mobile phone) with your outlook and also install software on your mobile through your PC. But my god.. such a pathetic design.. too much of text and all confusion..


This image shows a add and remove tool of this ActivSync.. Can anyone tell me what should i do to remove software or add software.. God knows,.. its packed with soooo much extra text , i am lost. I just want to remove one software. IT confuses me whether i should click OK or Remove. For this any user needs to carefully read each text twice.
