almost everyday we work in front of our computers. there are times that we had to open multiple sets of windows were working on, and in those times our desktop is so crowded that we couldn't easily find the right window we need. some people use TAB browsing w/c is not cool if you have like 5-10 windows, others tend to minimize all opened windows and look for the right one w/c is really a tideous work for me. fortunately there was Aero Shake, a feature of windows 7 that lets you clear your desktop by giving a shake. how?
click and hold the window pane of the window you want to let open then shake it. all opened windows will be minimized except the one your holding.do it again and all comes up.
this is just a bit of tutorial,it may not look as a topic to be discussed,but i just wanna share it to all window 7 users.
thanks!

I use browsers with tabs, so I only have one or two windows on. Makes it much easier, because you can basically see all of the websites you're visiting right there on the top.
I never knew that on Windows 7 you could just clear all the windows...
I use Windows XP, so I wouldn't know about that. Very interesting.
By the way, what does w/c mean?

hi!
if your using browsing internet, tabs are useful. but if your like using different windows other internet then you'll end up multiple opened windows.
"w/c" this should be "which is" sorry i mistype it (lol). i still have XP as my secondary OS,but it has no feature like this. there is another feture in windows 7,its called Aero Snap..
this topics are also in my blog site.

Well I have created two folders on my desktop. One I keep on the right hand side and the other I keep on the left hand side. I keep all my important utilities in the folder on the right and I keep shortcuts in the folder on the left. There isn't anything else on my desktop other than these two folders. Andrew

Haha - I create a new folder and name it "Desktop Junk" - and stuff everything in there.
Eventually I end up folders named "Desktop Junk", inside of Desktop Junk folder, inside of Desktop Junk folder.
Works Wonderful for me! :)
