Any way to make a shortcut to "show windows side by side"...

to avoid having to right click on taskbar and choose from shortcut
menu? I'd like to have a shortcut sitting in the Quick Launch toolbar
for that feature.

dave

Copy & paste the following lines into notepad & save as SideBySide.vbs

-----------------------------
dim objShell

set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.TileVertically
set objShell = nothing
-----------------------------

Hi Keith

What would the VBS code be for the "Undo Show Side by Side" option

Thank you

Good question! Made me learn something new From preliminary testing, it
looks like the UndoMinimizeALL method:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb774106.aspx

has actually taken on the function of, for lack of a better name,
UndoLastWindowArrange -- the script equivalent of whatever 'Undo' command
(if any) is available from the Taskbar context menu at any given time.

----------------------
dim objShell

set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.UndoMinimizeALL
set objShell = nothing
---------------------------------------------

Note that 'Minimize All' is no longer a context menu option, but if you
execute 'Minimize All' via the Winkey+M combination, 'Undo Minimize All'
becomes available.
