Organize your desktop differently

Managing your desktop space can sometimes be a bind, and if you need some help keeping windows neat and organized, try PowerResizer.

This tiny application, which you will see running in your system tray, allows you to near automatically resize windows so you can maximize your desktop space. Grab a window and drag it to the left, right top or bottom of the screen, and PowerResizer will resize it against that side, taking up half the screen This way you can have two windows open side by side in a flash.

Hold a window with your mouse and press a numbers 1 to 4, and PowerResizer will be resized to a corner of your desktop. This allows you to have four windows fully visible sharing the space. Numbers 5 to 0 scale your window, with 0 being full screen, and nine being tiny! if you don't need it, you can disable the program easily by right clicking its system tray logo.

PowerResizer is a neat way to keep your windows organized in a regimented way. It's only failing is a lack of options - you cannot define or redefine hotkey commands, which is irritating, nor can you specify the size of each different resize command.

PowerResizer is a useful tool for anyone who regularly works between two to four windows, and needs to swap between them constantly.

Great Idea, Can't Make It Work. I installed it more than once on 2 different machines. One operates under Windows XP and the other under Windows Vista Home Premium. Both have automatic windows updates, and all current service packs installed. Neither computer performes with this program as described. At best, one or sometimes both open windows will "left justify", the one window covering up the other. No window will "snap" to the right side, bottom or top of the screen. When I grab the top of the window and drag it to the right, top or bottom of my screen, it just goes off the screen as if powerriszer was not installed. Sometimes the second window towards the right will act like it snapped into place, but when I grab either the right side of the left window or the left side of the right window, no "magic" occurs. The window wall being grabbed simply covers up the other windows just as it would if the program was not running. I have the "Enable Power Resizer" ticked at all times during these tests. I have uninstalled, re-installed and re-downloaded the program, but to no avail. The program does not work on either of my computers, both using different and current operating systems. Pros: Great idea. I want this program to work since I often use multiple windows. Cons: Can't make it work.
