To continue our Windows 7 features coming to pre-7 computers tour, here we are sharing a very small and great utility which provides the "Aero Shake" feature of Windows 7 in Windows XP, Vista and other pre-7 versions.

"Aero Shake" is a new feature in Windows 7 which is quite useful. Suppose you have more than one windows opened and you want to minimize all other windows except the window which you are working on, then you have to simply shake the current window with your mouse and all other windows will be minimized automatically. Shake it again and all minimized windows will be maximized again.

According to the lifehacker google group you can just get the "autohotkey" app and compile their script through this. That should help avoid those sneaky trojans.

Google "aero shake like windows 7" for more info

Hi VG,

Not quite sure which area that is shaked? I have done and tried to understand the feature, but seems mine does not work. My aero shake instance is running on my system tray.

Please help.

Thanks

Alright.

I seem to get it now. I just read the wikipedia. You have to drag the current one you wish to open, and hold it and move it to any other opened application, and it shakes...

Cheers.
