Tricks: Tile or Cascade Multiple Windows in Windows 7
Do you like this story?
If you’ve got loads of windows open, and would like to tile or
cascade just a couple of those windows, it’s a pain to minimize them,
then unminimize the windows you want to tile, and then choose Tile from
the taskbar context menu… but there’s a better way!
Back in the Windows XP and Vista days, you could just Ctrl-Click on multiple taskbar buttons, and then select “Show Windows Side by Side” or one of the other options to tile just those windows—and it worked with as many windows as you felt like using.
In Windows 7, this ability was removed in favor of Aero Snap—just drag a window to the side of the screen, and it’ll snap to fill half of the screen. Without a doubt, one of the great features in Windows 7… but what about tiling vertically? Or more than two windows?
So what you can do instead is simply open up Task Manager via any of a number of routes, my personal favorite being Ctrl+Shift+Esc—and then hold down the Ctrl button while you select multiple applications in the list.
Right-click on one of the selected windows in the list, and then you can choose to Tile Horizontally, vertically, cascade, etc. That’s it! (Note: hat tip to Windows Secrets for the idea)
