How to close windows by middle clicking on application title bar?

Question

I wish to use mouse' middle button to close various applications so that when I middle click a windows title bar, it actually closes it.

alt text

Is it possible to do it by configuring windows or using external tools? If it matters, I am using Windows 7.

There is an Autohotkey script that does this.

I don't know how to use the code when open the link. Please educate me more. 7plus app as mentioned by @Hemant is pretty easy to use

If you're using Win NT6.* (Vista / 7 / 8), make sure you replace the following code to avoid the "Shut Down Windows" prompts when middle-clicking on the taskbar: autohotkey.com/board/topic/…

Doesn't work on all windows or secondary monitors. At least on Windows 7, anyway. The app @Hemant mentioned (7plus) works far better and it is just an AutoHotkey wrapper anyway.

I stumbled upon this application which lets you close application by middle click and lots more. Seems pretty good.
