Organize your Desktop Windows!

Ok. This is an awesome little program (17kB zipped or 73kB for the install program that creates the links for you)

What it does is lets you more carefully and quickly size the windows on your desktop.

For example. I like to keep my IM windows organized. So i set it to change a window to half the size of the screen and then to move it to the top or bottom of the screen.

Works well and is tiny. Only takes 228KB running on my win2k system.

I reccomend it to any windows neatfreak.

BTW. All this and more comes built in on Linux machines running the K Desktop Environment.
Keep on MTMing,

linux and windows sharing a box is like a loaded gun with no safety. Extremely powerful, but you'de better know what you are doing if you dont want to shoot yourself in the foot.

Do you still use AIM? GAIM organizes it in tabs, not sure if you prefer individual windows to tabs though.

I stopped using aim about 5 years ago when i acquired friends on icq and msn.

I used Trillian for a long time but I dont like how much it slows down my system. I've been using Gaim on Linux a lot so I decided to try it again on windows (last time was win98 and it was very unstable a couple years ago). Gaim works well. I dont like the tabs much. Sizer works well for organization.

Trillian did memorize the location i left each person in so I didnt have this problem.
