How can I open two windows,side by side?

[slipe]

In the upper right of your screen is a minus, box and X. If you have a single box click on the double box. If you put your cursor on the edge of the screen it will turn to a double arrow. Drag the edge so it covers half of the screen. Click the minus sign and do the same thing with the other window except put it on the other half of the screen. Go to your taskbar on the bottom and select the first one you resized. The two will be side by side.

If you want them smaller with the full screen showing drag up the bottoms until each fills half of the screen but shows the full window.

This was a new feature added to WinXP *see note*...

No matter how many windows you currently have open, as long as the windows you want are already open, just select one of the related windows "button" down in your TaskBar (that's the bar typically along the bottom edge of your screen - yours may be positioned elsewhere).

Once you clicked on that one button, then hold down the Ctrl key and click on the other buttons that you also want opened max size to share the whole of your desktop. (With Ctrl+click you are adding the buttons to your first selection).

Now, once all these TaskBar buttons are selected, just right-click over any one of those already selected buttons.

Select the command "Tile Horizontally" or "Tile Vertically"

That will do it.

*Note: Prior to WinXP trying to do this Tile selected windows command resulted in all the windows Tiling. Which is not quite what you want if you have more than just the windows you want already opened.

That other posting was a little in error, or perhaps just not as accurate as it could be.

Thanks for the pointer to it. I added my 2¢ there.
