3 Tools to manage your windows in Windows!

You’ve probably felt this one time or the other: You have many windows open on your taskbar - messed up - can’t hide them, can’t set them to minimize into the system tray and do other such jobs - it’s not possible by default in Windows. Why not try some third party tools to keep the windows organized ?

1. WinRoll is a tiny little application that will help you when you’re too busy with windows open all over. What it does is really simple: Right click on a Window’s Title Bar, and the window instant rolls up, and only the title bar is alone visible. You can also set the the transparency level, and also you can minimize or maximize all windows at a time easily.

This tool is great for all those busy guys out there who keep a hell lot of windows open.

Here’s a screenshot of WinRoll in action:

2. PushPin, that runs from your system tray, does a relatively simple job - and again, this may prove for practical usage. It adds an option “Always On Top” to the menu that appears when you right click on an open window’s button on the taskbar, like this:

3. TrayIt does a very simple job, but that’ll really be very useful at times when you have tens of windows open, all minimized on your taskbar. Using TrayIt, you can minimize windows straight into your system tray. You save a ton of space on your taskbar, uber clean. If you’re in a condition to open a window, can’t close it off, but only minimize it - only to find that your taskbar is already filled - use TrayIt

To minimize windows to tray, just hold the CTRL on your keyboard and press the minimize button in the window’s title bar.
