System Requirements

The application runs on any version of the Windows operating system

Installation

Extract the file Window Control.exe to a folder on your hard drive (e.g. C:\Program Files\). If you want the application to automatically be activated when Windows starts, you will need to add a shortcut to the file and put it in Start>Programs>Startup.

Usage

Window Control is a small utility allowing the user to move, resize, minimize, and hide the active window using the four quadrants of the screen. Further options lets you send the active window to the back or focus the top-most window in any of the quadrants. All of this is accomplished by using the Windows key and the numerical keypad - no need to reach for the mouse any longer!
