Tile your Windows

Posted Feb 28, 2005 | by David Risley  

Sometimes you want to perform actions in a few different programs at the same time. You can simply use Alt-Tab to cycle between windows pretty easily, but there is another option and that is tiling. Tiling will basically re-size all your windows and arrange them either vertically or horizonally across the screen, allowing you to see all of them at the same time. To do so, simply minimize the programs then right-click somewhere in your taskbar in an empty area. In the pop-up menu, choose “Tile Windows Vertically” or “Tile Windows Horizonatally”. By default, all programs will be tiled, but if you only want to tile two of the several programs you have open, just old the CTRL button and click on the programs in your taskbar. Each program will highlight slightly when they are selected. Then use the same menu to tile them, but this time, only those programs you selected will tile.
