If you don't have it, I wanted to point out a different way to go. If you have a few programs on XP you want to see at once, do the following: 1) Click on the first program's task bar icon to select it. 2) Press and hold Control and click on the other program's task bar icons. You'll notice the icons all look "depressed" 3) Right click on one of the icons you selected and pick Tile vertical or Tile horizontal Not as nice as he grids, but doesn't require any software! This works best if you have the grouping of taskbar icons turned off in the taskbar properties. Looks like a nice program. If you don’t have it, I wanted to point out a different way to go.

I'm the author of GridMove. Thank you for the kind words! I just wanted to explain one small thing: when using the middle button method, you can actually middle click anywhere, not only on the title of the window. That makes it much more versatile, but might not be the best option for people who need that button in, for example, graphics programs. (notice that only if a drag is made it works like that. if you just click it, it'll still work as middle click. this is useful for browsers, for example). I noticed you explained my program better than i did, maybe i should re-think my text ;) Bye! Hi!
