In this tutorial I will be showing you a great program that allows you to use the Windows 7 famous feature “Snap” on your Windows XP/Vista machine.
Aero Snap – Clicking and dragging a window to the right or left side of the desktop causes the window to fill the respective half of the screen. Snapping a window to the top of the desktop maximizes it. Resizing a window to touch the top or bottom edge of the screen maximizes the window to full height, whilst retaining its width; these windows will then slide horizontally if moved by the title bar, or can be pulled off, which returns the window to its original height.
