Select Multiple Windows on the Taskbar

We mostly prefer working by opening many windows.So if you want to tile just a couple of windows you have to minimize everything and then show two of the windows, and then tile them.So how do we just quickly select two taskbar buttons together?

There’s a simple trick inbuilt within the Windows xp and Windows Vista.Ok,Lets first see the inbuild trick present in Windows Vista.

Select Multiple Windows on the Taskbar – Windows Vista:

    Hold down the CTRL key while clicking on a taskbar button, and then while still holding down the CTRL key, click on another taskbar button.
    Now that they are both selected, you can right-click on one of the buttons.

You Will find 3 Options

    Cascade
    Show Windows Stacked
    Show Windows Side by Side


I usually Prefer Windows Side-by-side which is easy for Cut(Ctrl+x), Copy(Ctrl+c), Paste(Ctrl+v) Works.
