Windows Toolbox: Get an Edge on Window Management With FreeSnap
If you like your windows to align to some (but not all) edges of your screen, you know how tedious it can be to drag each edge to make it fit just the way you want it. Fortunately, Blue Onion Software offers a quick way to handle this and other window management chores with FreeSnap. Once you launch this utility, you can use various keyboard shortcuts (such as <Windows>-<Up Arrow>) to snap the top, left, right, or bottom edges of the active window to the edge of the screen. To undo the effect, just repeat the shortcut. FreeSnap also lets you use a keyboard shortcut to toggle between maximized and regular mode, and you can use different shortcuts to cycle through different standard screen sizes (800 by 600 and 1024 by 768, for example)--useful for Web designers who want to fit their work to multiple screen resolutions.
