window management

I was going to go find these when another Forum Member beat me to it, LOL. Thanks for that!! Anyway, being the big, handy help that they are, I feel they should be a Sticky, though, not just sure in what section of our W8 Forum. Nor can I find or recall where his entry was or in what thread...

I have a Samsung TFT monitor with resolution 1920x1080 which is connected by HDMI cable. Assume I open a couple of windows (IntExp, WinExplorer, notepad,...). Now (e.g.late in the evening) I turn off manually physically (only) the TFT monitor to save power but let the computer continue run...

Windows 7 (or maybe my new laptop?) is giving me lots of trouble when I try to stretch a window. There are two problems: 1 - Sometimes when I grab an edge I end up moving the whole window. I believe in earlier Windows versions you had to click on the top section of the window to drag it...

Hi everyone, I'm not quite sure how to describe this problem. I use alt-tab constantly to switch between applications. Sometimes I know I just want to switch back and forth between two apps, so that's just a quick punch of the keys, no visual aid necessary. However, there are other times when...

Hi, I have a dual monitor setup, and I was wondering. How can I have a button next to the minimize button, to send the window to the other monitor? If it is maximized, it will be maximized on the other monitor, and vice versa. Is There Some Sort Of Registry Tweak to achieve this? Or Small...

I'm fairly new to W7, about 2 months, having migrated from XP to W7 (never experienced Vista). Quite frequently I encounter a problem with the mouse, in which it fails to (a) bring the auto-hidden taskbar into view, and (b) properly select functions normally controlled by button clicks. Problem...

So I finally switched over to Win7 am am really loving it so far save one thing... In WinXP when you right click an item on the task bar immediately beneath where you clicked is "close window" so you can simply right click left click to close a program out. In Win7 the right click menu begins...

I have WinWorks Auto shop and it has a part of the program called tech link.Tech link open in a new window. Our shop computer fried and was replaced with a Dell running Windows 7. We have always had a problem with the Tech link window (even on XP) sometimes minimizing to the task bar and not...

Hey Guys, Hopefully one of you can help me cos im getting really frustrated. I have tried searching online for solutions but to no avail. My laptop is just under 12 months old and other than the battery dying already I have never really had any problems until last week. Its a Dell Inspiron...

I have 4 PCs running W7 Home Premium 32 bit all with the same annoying problem. Very often when I close Windows Live Mail 2011, Microsoft Security Essentials or Word Pad the corresponding process is killed but the window will not disappear before I click the Desktop Ikon. It only happens with...

Hey guys, I am running a dual monitor set up and when I play CSS if I snap to quickly on someone to the right (since my second monitor is to the right) I will minimize the window (since the mouse carries over) and I will have to alt tab back. The mouse does move over to the second monitor and...

Hi, as stated in the subject, I wonder how to prevent windows from stealing focus from whatever your working on whenever some other running app, howvever unimportant, calls for attention? This focus-stealing drives me up a wall, and it's not helpful at all for keeping ones train-of-thought...

When I start a DOS batch file *.bat procedure then a cmdprompt window opens with the default number of columns and rows. In old WinXP I could pause the batch script and change the number of columns/rows of this terminal/cmdprompt windowa as well as other parameters like font size. AND...

# annoyances Aero Snap, which lets you maximize windows or set them side by side by dragging them to the screen edge, is one of our favorite Windows 7 features. If you find it more annoying than helpful, here's how to turn it off. More » More...

Is there a way to turn this off? The window in question is not actually frozen but it appears as though it is to windows 7, so the only option I get is to close it while it is still running.

Is it possible to prevent the ridiculous auto "full screen" when one tries to move a window partially off screen - this feature is one of several "new to Win 7" :skull: that make me yearn to return to XP Pro... (My new laptop cannot be configured with Win XP...) For heavens sake Gates - I moved...

Hi I have been using xp for....... almost 9 years and linux for 3, I use windows for editing photos with adobe light room3 and photoshope ete, and linux for everything else . As I use windows and linux folk often ask me how they compare? And I say its not fair to compare a OS that over 10...
