Looking for softrware, possible idea for a software solution....

Greetings,

In my office I generally have to get multiples windows all at the time, I know as well that some users have several windows or applications open @ time and moving around them becomes a bloody hell.

So here is what I'm looking for, I need an application that could allow me to switch and work with non maximized windows, I was thinking about something that minimizes these windows as thumbnails making it quickly accessible trough a click, also with drag and drop support, in case i want to move a file from a windows (Local Disk C:) to the thumbnail window (Local Disk D:).

Is there anything like that available, if not, Piritform it would be a handy application in my humble opinion.

ever considered alt-tab

in case i want to move a file from a windows (Local Disk C:) to the thumbnail window (Local Disk D:).

What?!

Yep, Alt + Tab works great.

If you have Windows 7, try the "Windows Key" + Tab.

Yeah I've have windows 7 and yeah I've those options, while they do help depending on the number of windows opened... it really does not help that much when it comes of more than 2 windows, not that much. I can't think of someone who uses more than 2 Hrad Disk or more than 2 partitions that wouldn't find handy an application that could allow you too move freely, without wasting much space, in seven win+tab is quite good to see what's going on your desk but neither alt+tab win+tab or spacebar + tab are an efficient solution to this.

Although i do like the idea of having a bar like the alt+tab shows, somewhere to the left of my desktop with drag and drop functionality.

VirtuaWin is a virtual desktop manager for the Windows operating system (I have not tried it yet with Win 7) I'll try this afternoon and report back.

Hope this helps.

Just tried VirtuaWin, works with Win 7, I still prefer Win key / Tab or Alt / Tab - but there again I'm an old bloke.
