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.

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
Shaw

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.
