Windows 7 – Shake Rattle and Snap

Shake Rattle and Snap

In Windows 7 it is easy to compare the contents of two windows. Drag the windows to opposite sides of the screen. Each window will resize to fill half of the screen.

Use Aero Shake in Windows 7 to quickly minimize every open window except the one you want. You can then restore all of your windows just as easily. The window you want to keep open, shake the title bar back and forth quickly. Then when you are ready to restore the minimized window, simply shake the open window again.

To use Snap, drag the title bar of an open window to either side of the desktop to align it there, or drag it to the top of the desktop to maximize the window. To expand a window vertically using Snap, drag the top edge of the window to the top of the desktop.
