No minimize on right-click icon menu?

I just noticed that when I right click an icon on the taskbar, the pop menu
does not have an option for minimize. Was this removed from Win7, or is
there something I can do to bring it back?

Instead of right-clicking, left-click on the icon to minimize the
associated program window.

Doesn't always work. That is why minimize used to be in the pop up menu.
Well, one of the reasons. But this doesn't answer my questions - was it
removed intentionally, and is there a way to get it back?

The answer to the second question is to shift-right-click the icon on the
taskbar. This brings up the "classic context menu". Yet another thing that
Microsoft changed that didn't need changing.
