[Wtr-general] ie.minimize broken in watir-1.5.1.1127

[Charley Baker]

Zeljko,

I just ran through the same steps you list below and didn't have a
problem. The use of autoit for controlling the window state of ie
hasn't changed for quite some time and should be installed as part of
your install. Is it working with previous gems on the same machine?
